Abstract
Virtual screening can be a very efficient way to identify initial lead molecules or a back-up series for a drug discovery program. Advantages include access to increased molecular diversity and an ability to find new IP which result in savings in time and ultimately cost. One of the most critical challenges of virtual screening is determining the most effective screening strategy, which includes working through the data and detail of the experimental design to achieve the desired outcome for any given starting point.
In this webinar, learn how to analyze and develop an appropriate virtual screening strategy for complex target systems for which no simple small ligands exist, and how to work this into an effective virtual screen. We will walk through how this can be performed by either accessing our advanced ligand-based virtual screening platform, Blaze™, directly, or through our comprehensive structure and ligand-based modeling platform, Flare™.
