Membrane Permeability

Physics-based solution for rapid and accurate prediction of passive membrane permeability

Membrane Permeability

Evaluate membrane permeability with unmatched accuracy

Membrane Permeability is a robust solution to accurately predict passive membrane permeability of small molecules across diverse chemistries. By considering conformation dependent phenomena such as internal hydrogen-bonding, which can have a dramatic effect on permeability, it offers tremendous advantages over QSAR and machine learning-based approaches.

Key Capabilities

End checkpoint
Accelerate hit-to-lead and lead optimization by rapidly scoring and prioritizing large sets of idea compounds based on predicted permeability, prior to running advanced modeling such as FEP+
End checkpoint
Predict partition energy for inserting a small molecule into the membrane using a physics-based approach
End checkpoint
Benefit from automatic detection and sampling of macrocycles using an advanced sampling algorithm
