Why DesertSci’s Protein Structure Database?
DesertSci makes the most advanced protein structure database and visualisation system in the world. Our software finds better drugs, faster – cutting years off the discovery process and saving you millions of dollars By merging cheminformatics and bioinformatics, we have created methods that result in better drug candidates in larger quantities.
Automation
We have automated the highly skilled but repetitive tasks associated with early stage drug discovery, whilst also generating new insights and data. And everything is optimised for speed and decision making across the discovery process.
Our smart ‘in silico’ approach applies knowledge-based machine learning methods to evaluate and score thousands of compounds quickly and accurately, dramatically decreasing the time and cost to successfully complete the discovery phase.
Collaboration
At the core of DesertSci is collaboration. We work closely with you to realise a shared goal: better drug discovery outcomes. We believe collaboration is more than a meeting of common goals – it is a deep, collective determination to reach an identical objective… an accurate, robust, fast, scalable and innovative enterprise based informatics systems that saves time and money but not at the cost of quality.
Knowledge Based
Our focus is on improving the understanding of protein structure data and protein-ligand binding in medicines research. We then create tools and methods that find better drugs, in larger quantities, faster. This gives genuine competitive advantage to our users by allowing you to make more informed decisions that result in reduced failure rates, less toxic drugs and high drug efficacy.
Innovative
More eyes = better designs = better drug candidates in greater quantities.
We focus on collecting and curating protein structure data. We can handle both public domain and inhouse proprietary data seamlessly. And our software does NOT require expert molecular modellers to transform the binding site of the target protein. With Proasis this is done automatically, at the click of a button. For every structure in our database, we have ‘pre-computed’ the raw protein data, giving the user, the drug candidate bound to its target, and colour-coded according to the features that are responsible for its efficacy. This is incredibly powerful because it broadens the ability to hunt drugs from the domain of expert molecular modellers and opens it to all members of multi-disciplinary research teams.
DesertSci’s Proasis Protein Structure database is a now critical part of pharma companies, big and small, across the world. Contact us to try it for yourselves
