CD ComputaBio is a well-established computational biology company, renowned for its in-depth prowess in bioinformatics and chemoinformatics, including in silico fragment-based drug design (FBDD). FBDD is an innovative technological method that uses computational models and resources to generate drugs that bind specifically to target proteins. In silico FBDD is a highly efficient, cost-effective, and time-saving alternative to traditional in vitro or in vivo drug discovery methods. By using this technology, CD ComputaBio can significantly accelerate the drug discovery process, improve the hit-to-lead conversion rate, and enhance the drug's effectiveness.
CD ComputaBio creates an extensive digital library of diverse fragments. This database comprises potential drug fragments that have a high affinity for the target protein. This library is generated using multiple computational methodologies to ensure it encompasses various fragment types.
We deploy high-performance computing resources to perform virtual screening of the fragment library. Our experts use docking algorithms and physicochemical filtering to identify fragments with a potential high affinity and specificity for the target protein.
After the potential fragments are identified, CD ComputaBio deploys various computational methodologies to optimize the identified fragments systematically. The optimization process includes examining the possibilities for merging, growing, or linking the fragments to enhance their binding affinity and pharmacokinetic properties.
