DesertSci is pleased to announce the release of Viper – powerful new ligand design software based on our proprietary Scorpion technology. Viper is a completely new approach for designing tight binding ligands, underpinned by the new computational description of molecular recognition of Scorpion.
Viper identifies areas for improving protein-ligand interaction networks and cooperativity using pharmacophore searching and fragment scanning.
With Viper the end-user can identify new ligand substituents that substantially improve binding affinities without having to add large groups.
