Testimonials from Cresset Discovery customers
Working closely with the Cresset Discovery team we aimed to identify a putative binding pose for a lead series in published PDB coordinates that was not only consistent with the kinetically deduced MOA but explained the established SAR as well. The furnished results were able to satisfy these goals and then be applied prophetically for ligand design purposes.

We sought the scientific expertise within the Cresset Discovery team to utilize their novel field and shape-based virtual screening methods in Blaze™, and their proprietary Electrostatic Complementarity™ technique to help identify a backup series for our target effectively and efficiently. Ultimately we identified 9 novel chemotypes that were clearly distinct to those arising from docking and pharmacophore virtual screening approaches, which was an exciting outcome for us.

Through the work presented to us I was particularly impressed with the data management and visualization within Forge, so the next step was for us to use it in-house. We will use Forge alongside our continuing consulting work with Cresset to aid in the development of our understanding of the SAR and design of future antifungal agents.
