Bioactive conformational generation of small molecules: a comparative analysis between force-field and multiple empirical criteria based methods.

BMC bioinformatics | 2010

Conformational sampling for small molecules plays an essential role in drug discovery research pipeline. Based on multi-objective evolution algorithm (MOEA), we have developed a conformational generation method called Cyndi in the previous study. In this work, in addition to Tripos force field in the previous version, Cyndi was updated by incorporation of MMFF94 force field to assess the conformational energy more rationally. With two force fields against a larger dataset of 742 bioactive conformations of small ligands extracted from PDB, a comparative analysis was performed between pure force field based method (FFBM) and multiple empirical criteria based method (MECBM) hybrided with different force fields.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


Pipeline Pilot (tool)

RRID:SCR_014917

Software used to automate the process of accessing, analyzing and reporting scientific data. This software can be used by a person with little or no software development experience can create scientific protocols that can be executed through a variety of interfaces including: BIOVIA Web Port, other BIOVIA solutions such as BIOVIA Electronic Lab Notebook, Isentris, Chemical Registration and third-party applications such as Microsoft SharePoint. The protocols aggregate and provide immediate access to volumes of research data, they automate the scientific analysis of data and allow researchers to explore, visualize and report results.
