- Dock ligands into ambiguous density, such as in cryo-EM structures, using a best-in class force field to resolve uncertainty
- Generate refined protein structures with improved quality and statistics without the need for explicit ligand restraints files
Expand the impact of structural biology on drug design
Structural biology is rapidly developing due to advances in cryo-EM, machine learning technologies such as AlphaFold, and new computational capabilities. New questions can be asked, with new standards of what is achievable.
Schrödinger is spearheading modern computational workflows for structure refinement, ligand placement, and binding site analysis to unlock a broader range of protein targets for structure-based design.
Tools for computational structure refinement, ligand placement, and binding site analysis
Utilize computational tools to generate and validate ligand binding poses
Prepare and refine computational models using your experimentally determined structures
- Reliably and accurately dock ligands into your experimentally determined structures for drug design or mechanistic evaluations
- Rationally build unresolved side-chain atoms with ligand placement
- Place cofactors and solvent to convert low resolution models into complete, all-atom representations
Improve collaboration with chemists using a centralized structural data and 3D visualization platform
- Store, search and organize target structures
- Utilize expert pipelines to align and prepare protein structures
- View, overlay and assess structures in 3D to drive target selection
