Simulations

INCLUDES THE HIGHLY VERSATILE CHARMm MOLECULAR MECHANICS SIMULATION PROGRAM

Biomolecular processes rely on a variety of dynamic interactions between proteins, ligands, solvents and ions. Often, the specifics of these interactions are difficult to capture via physical experimentation alone due to the short time scales over which they occur. Simulation can help elucidate the energetics of these processes, providing insight into their mechanism of action and properties.

Discovery Studio utilizes the highly versatile CHARMm molecular simulation program. With over 30 years of peer-reviewed academic research, CHARMm targets the study of biological systems such as proteins, peptides, small molecule ligands, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates.

Antibody Modeling

BIOTHERAPEUTICS AND ANTIBODY MODELING

Biotherapeutics offer a range of unique benefits over small molecule drugs. Their increased affinity and selectivity have allowed researchers to address new and difficult targets.

This has led to a dramatic increase in R&D projects centered on antibodies and other biological modalities for treatment such as bispecifics. However, these projects must also overcome similar challenges in safety and pharmacokinetics faced by small molecules, albeit from a different perspective. Factors such as high immunogenicity or low solubility can kill development on an otherwise effective candidate.

Modeling and simulation can significantly advance the development of these new classes of therapeutics. For example, researchers can predict an antibody’s formulation properties and suggest mutations to improve them rapidly and at low cost compared to laboratory experimentation alone.

To this end, BIOVIA Discovery Studio offers a rich set of tools to help guide the design of biotherapeutics, allowing teams to optimize the performance of candidates in silico and streamlining their physical work.
