Structure-based lead optimization of a PROTAC small-molecule in the BRD4-CRBN complex
The purpose of this article is to illustrate how to apply some of 3decision’s features in scientific research. For this use case, the 3decision Subpocket Similarity Search is used to suggest modifications for the optimization of a small- molecule PROTAC. The Protein-Ligand interaction coloring by statistics is then used to evaluate docking poses of new compounds. The bromodomain-containing protein 4 – cereblon complex (BRD4-CBRN) and its degrader dBET23 are used as an example.
Discngine and Nanome are partnering up to enhance the structure-based drug design experience
Discngine’s 3decision team is partnering up with Nanome to bring a new dimension to structural analysis. With 3decision in VR, users will be able to entirely exploit the structural knowledge stored in 3decision in a new and advanced way to accelerate drug-design processes.
An innovative way of organizing data: How can 3decision® improve decision-making process? [Customer Success Story]
Manuel Cases Thomas, a Medicinal chemistry consultant and director at Senechaem was looking for a solution to help him use the full potential of data at hand and generate new design ideas. In this interview, he shares how 3decision® makes a difference in his daily work: from a scientific need to the impact on design ideas and successful project outcomes.
Starting with 3decision®: Allosteric pocket detection in BCR-ABL1 kinase
I found my way to quickly learn new software: by validating its features. In this article, I am presenting the retrospective analysis of the detection of BCR-ABL1 allosteric binding site using the 3decision Pocket Explorer feature.
What's new in 3decision® 2021.1?
The updated 3decision® version has some important new features for cross-team collaboration and structure-based drug design project management. A lot of improvements are made on the structure visualization UI as well.

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.
