Building a blood-brain barrier penetration model in Flare™ Figure 1_ Initial SVM classification model

We show how the enhanced QSAR modeling capabilities in Flare V5 (due for release soon) can be used to build a blood-brain barrier permeation classification model using molecular descriptors imported from the RDKit by means of a Flare Python extension written ad hoc.


Find new leads from peptides and natural ligands Figure 7_cropped_Some of the output from the Blaze virtual screen as shown in Flare

In this case study, we used a combination of ligand-based virtual screening with Blaze™ and information about the protein structure from Flare to find ligands that could potentially be used as appropriate FOXO-peptide mimetics.


Manually adding a field point in Spark™ Create new field point in Spark

Learn how to manually add a custom field point to a molecule and use it in a field constraint in our bioisostere replacement tool, Spark. This method is used when a starter molecule doesn't contain a field point in an area where interactions are desired in result molecules.
