Dramatically increase your wet screening hit rate at a fraction of the cost using the Blaze advanced ligand-based virtual screening platform, accessible using a range of flexible deployment methods.

Feature Blaze BlazeGPU Blaze Cloud
Ligand based virtual screening of millions of compounds
Find novel hits using Cresset's Fields
Find novel hits using pure gausian shape similarity
Customize the scoring regime to use both shape and electrostatic character of molecules
Database of compound conformations to search is precalculated and stored to make searching faster
Use a protein as an excluded volume to limit results to those that fit within the active site
Use constraints to ensure specific interactions are maintained in the virtual screening results
Search with multiple queries in a single experiment
 
Automatic calculation of retrieval enrichments and plotting of retrieval curves
 
Retrieve results as a text file, as 2D sdf file or as 3D alignments (sdf, mol2 or xed format)
Manage compound collections from multiple sources
 
Compound collections are subsetted by size of molecule; choose to search complete collections, sub-sets, or specific ranges
Rapidly create custom sub-sets for your project from the master collection
 
Fully definable user and project permission systems on compound collections and searches
 
Complete listing of available compound collections, including details of last update, relevant permissions and number of compounds
Automatic management of duplicates from different compound collections, meaning you only search unique structures
Automated analysis of search performance
View system status and log files
