LEAD IDENTIFICATION

We optimize hit and lead compounds by screening hundreds of thousands of analogs against a specific target

Our Services

Actual Services

1

Target Preparation

  • Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulations to study dynamics

  • MD Simulations to identify cryptic pockets

  • Clustering and Markov State Modeling (MSM)

2

Virtual Hit Identification

  • Ultra-large virtual screenings (>60B)

  • 2nd stage screenings with protein flexibility and/or multiple docking programs

  • Individual optimization of the virtual screenings

3

Virtual Lead Optimization and Analysis

  • Creation of custom analog library of the 1M most similar compounds

  • High-accuracy virtual screening of the analog library

  • MD simulations to study the binding mode and affinity of individual compounds

Unprecedented Speed.
High-quality hits.
Magnitudes cheaper than traditional wet-lab methods.

Our Technology

We use VirtualFlow (Nature 2020) to carry out the largest virtual screenings in the world. We are able to screen against a variety of compound libraries—including the REAL library by Enamine, which contains more than 1.2 billion compounds.

 

Because we can explore the chemical space far more thoroughly than traditional methods, we produce hits with better binding affinity and other ADMET related properties.
