Spotting differences in large structure collections
This short post shows how to quickly analyze larger collections of structures and check for common and different parts among such large sets of structures.
What are the challenges for medicinal chemists when working with 3D structures? - Interview
The continuous increase in the available 3D structural data brings along changes in the medicinal chemistry field. Dr. George Sheppard, Senior Principal Research Scientist at AbbVie, shared his thoughts on the benefits for medicinal chemists using 3D information, current challenges and limitations, and proposed potential ways for improvement, in the following interview.
How to speed up the preparation of data sets for Structure-Based Drug Design? – Webinar Recap
The construction of accurate data sets prior to the in-silico experiments is a crucial first step in many SBDD projects. In our latest webinar, we explained how 3decision® can help ease and speed up this process. For better understanding, we presented three common use cases in SBDD using our platform.
Getting ready for AlphaFold with 3decision®
Google-owned company DeepMind has achieved to predict 3D protein shapes with high accuracy and speed using the AI program AlphaFold. Although still in the early phase, this method can have a significant impact on drug discovery, accelerating the development of new drugs. In this article, we are discussing the importance of getting ready for the new source of structural data and how to gain the most of structural knowledge.
Delivery Management at Discngine, the key to make an IT project a success
Delays, functionality, and ergonomics problems, poor choice of technologies, security flaws... When it comes to IT projects, the list of potential problems can be long, very long. To avoid this, Discngine is using a Delivery Management approach to ensure the successful completion of the project.
Should medicinal chemists use 3D molecular modeling tools?
We sat down with Dr. Alexis Denis, Ph.D. Medicinal Chemistry Director at Galapagos to collect his thoughts on the question: Should medicinal chemists use 3D molecular modeling tools?
We were able to understand how he manages the collaboration in SBDD teams, but also to understand his vision of how these positions/roles could evolve in the future.
Discngine & UserStudio: Uplifting User Experience in life science research applications
Recently, our collaborative platform, 3decision, just saw itself complemented with two new features (subpocket search & interaction search) and a radically different User Experience (UX). This new UX, with an updated User Interface (UI), is the result of months of collaborative work between UserStudio and the 3decision team.
In order to tell the story of this project, we gathered people from both companies to answer a few questions.
