Welcome to the September Cresset Newsletter

Optimize your decision-making across the entire design-make-test-analyze (DMTA) cycle with this month’s collection of CADD software features, expert scientific opinion, and first-class drug discovery research resources.

You can subscribe to our monthly newsletter list if you’d like to receive these monthly updates via email.


300x181_streamlining_sharing_data_newsletter_imgStreamline sharing of CADD data seamlessly to accelerate your drug design process

The globalized outsourcing model of modern drug discovery is driving efficiencies across the Design-Make-Test-Analyze (DMTA) cycle, and effective communication is key to ensuring the success of these collaborations. We outline some of the challenges in sharing chemistry data and demonstrate how Cresset Discovery collaborates seamlessly with customers and external partners using the Torx® cloud-based platform.


500x500_flare_video_interview_fep_gcncmcBoost the predictivity of Free Energy Perturbation (FEP) calculations using Grand Canonical Nonequilibrium Candidate Monte Carlo (GCNCMC)

Protein-ligand binding predictions generated by FEP calculations help drug designers to improve the efficiency of their work and reach an active compound more quickly. Learn how GCNCMC can boost the predictivity of both FEP and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations in this recent video interview.

Dr Rob ScoffinSkeletal editing and removing the gap between CADD/AIDD and synthesis

What are the future possibilities of customized medicines? The near-term applications are interesting in that they narrow the gap between what the computational scientists can design in terms of the perfect molecule and what synthetic chemists are able to make, which should lead to better, safer and faster-to-market medicines. Rob Scoffin, Cresset CEO, discusses how CADD could complement skeletal editing.
