Protein Ligand Binding

Schrödinger, LLC. pleased to announce Schrödinger software release 2020-3. This quarterly release includes usability improvements and performance enhancements across all of our software.

ICM-Pro empowers a biologist or chemist by providing a high quality protein structure analysis, modeling, and docking desktop software environment. You have direct access to sequence and structural databases which allows you to: analyze sequences and alignments, inspect protein structure, study pockets and bound ligands and drugs, create surfaces, calculate electrostatics, make mutations, predict ligand binding sites, predict protein-protein interaction sites, perform small molecule and protein-protein docking and design ligands using the Interactive Ligand Editor.

The software developer Schrödinger continuously strive to develop scientific solutions that push the boundaries of molecular design and are delighted to share enhanced drug discovery and materials workflows in Schrödinger’s 2023-2 software release.

The subject of this book relates to protein ligands with particular structural and complexation properties. They are composed of self-assembled molecules, capable of penetrating as a unit into proteins outside the binding site. The ribbon-like supramolecular system only permits the penetration of self-assembled molecules into the protein-body and formation of stable complexes.

This book presents various computer-aided drug discovery methods for the design and development of ligand and structure-based drug molecules. A wide variety of computational approaches are now being used in various stages of drug discovery and development, as well as in clinical studies. Yet, despite the rapid advances in computer software and hardware, combined with the exponential growth in the available biological information, there are many challenges that still need to be addressed, as this book shows.
