Vienna, Austria
Sept. 17-22, 2017
OpenEye will be presenting the following workshop at the Vienna Summer School. Please join us as Paul C. D. Hawkins, Head of Scientific Solutions and Gunther Stahl, Senior Applications Scientist from OpenEye present:
3D shape and chemical feature similarity as descriptors of small molecules and Ligand-based Virtual Screening (LBVS)
In this workshop, we introduce 3D shape and chemical feature similarity as descriptors of small molecules and perform Ligand-based Virtual Screening (LBVS). We will use sets of active and inactive molecules to judge the performance of different queries using appropriate statistical measures. The participants will get the chance to modify the query molecules to optimize the results of the screen. In a second part, we will use the same descriptors to perform fragment replacements on small molecules. Bioisosteric replacements and Scaffold Hopping are important techniques to find new chemical entities with improved properties (e.g. activity, selectivity, solubility,...) or to protect IP space.
