August 29th-September 1st, 2011
Schrödinger at the 242nd American Chemical Society Meeting, Denver, Colorado

Schrödinger scientists will be attending and presenting at the 242nd ACS National Meeting & Exposition in Denver, Colorado from August 29 - September 1.

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, and 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. Schrödinger's all-purpose modeling and visualization environment, Maestro, will be distributed to all academic users at no charge.
