Improving PROTAC properties via single-point changes to linkers
We explore how computational methods can be applied to proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) design, to effectively tackle some of the ...

A program for automatic identification of bioisosteric analogs, scaffold hopping and fragment growing called IADE has been developed at Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research. The system frees modelers from repetitive and time consuming tasks and allows them spend more time on creative work: evaluating and selecting the best ideas from automatically designed structures.
Cresset’s command line FieldAlign (now part of Forge) software was used by Novartis as follows:
Novartis’ work has been published in J. Comput. Aided Mol. Des, 26, 1207-1215 (2012) and can be read here.
Peter Ertl, Novartis and co-author of the above article, was the winner of Cresset’s Design a Molecule Competition in Fall 2011 and presented the work at Cresset’s 2012 European User Meeting.
