March 25th-29th, 2012
Schrödinger at 243rd ACS Meeting, San Diego, CA

Schrödinger scientists will be attending and presenting at the 243rd ACS National Meeting & Exposition in San Diego, California from March 25-29th.

Visit our booth to learn about Schrödinger's full suite of drug discovery software, including the industry-leading Glide for flexible ligand docking, and Induced Fit (IFD) algorithm for modeling receptor flexibility. Also featured at this exhibit are Phase for ligand-based pharmacophore modeling, Phase Shape for shape-based modeling, and Field-Based QSAR. Canvas, a full-featured chemoinformatics package, Jaguar, a high-performance quantum mechanical package, and MacroModel, a comprehensive molecular modeling program with particular strengths in conformational analyses will also be exhibited. The complete line of small molecule modeling and drug discovery tools will be available for hands-on demonstration, as will Schrödinger's new enterprise informatics program, Seurat.
