Peptide Discovery

Design peptidic drugs using in silico structure-based methods

Peptide Discovery
background pattern

Explore the benefits of computationally-guided peptide design

Benefit
Enumerate and ideate beyond initial natural peptides on a large scale

Explore mutation to standard and non-standard amino acids, custom backbone modifications, and a wide variety of cyclizations to create novel natural peptides or peptidomimetics with desired properties.

Benefit
Explore conformational landscapes

Predict 3D structure, calculate relative binding free energies of structurally diverse conformations, and select the most plausible binding mode.

Benefit
Predict key properties of peptides

Guide peptide discovery by facilitating the design and optimization of peptide structures with desired properties and the associated physicochemical characteristics, such as membrane permeability and solubility.

Benefit
Understand peptide-target interactions

Employ specialized docking tools, molecular dynamics, and advanced free energy perturbation calculations to predict binding affinity, selectivity, thermostability, and pH-dependencies at accuracies approaching experimental level.
