Drug Activity and Affinity Prediction

In the rapidly evolving landscape of pharmaceuticals, the successful identification and development of new drug candidates are paramount. However, traditional methods of predicting drug activity and affinity can be time-consuming and costly. At CD ComputaBio, we leverage cutting-edge AI technologies to enhance drug discovery processes, optimizing the prediction of drug interactions and biological activities. Our advanced services are designed to meet the evolving needs of pharmaceutical companies, biotech, and research institutions in their quest for efficient and effective drug development.

Our Services

At CD ComputaBio, we harness state-of-the-art AI technologies to revolutionize drug discovery, enhancing the accuracy of predicting drug interactions and biological activities.

Target identification

Target Identification and Validation

  • Use AI to identify potential drug targets based on genetic and protein data.
  • Validate targets through machine learning algorithms that analyze biological pathways and disease associations.

Activity prediction

Compound Activity Prediction

  • Predict the biological activity of chemical compounds using structure-activity relationship (SAR) modeling.
  • Assess the likelihood of a compound exhibiting desired effects in specific biological contexts.

Binding site prediction

Affinity Prediction

  • Estimate the affinity of compounds for specific targets employing cutting-edge machine learning techniques.
  • Utilize molecular docking simulations to enhance prediction accuracy.

Analysis Methods

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)

Used for generating new potential drug candidates by learning the underlying distribution of known active compounds.

Unsupervised Learning

For exploratory data analysis, we identify hidden patterns in unlabeled data, which can reveal potential new drug targets or compound classes.

Molecular Docking

Utilizing AI-enhanced molecular docking techniques to predict how small molecules interact with target proteins, allowing for an efficient affinity assessment.

Docking Strategies

  • Local Docking
    Local docking refers to a process that focuses on refining the orientation and conformation of a ligand within a predefined region of a target protein.
  • Global Docking
    Global docking involves the search of the entire conformational space of both the ligand and the target protein to predict the best binding pose.
  • Template-Based Docking
    Template-based docking, sometimes referred to as homology modeling, utilizes existing structural templates of proteins with known ligand interactions to predict the binding behavior of a ligand with an unknown protein structure.

Sample Requirements

To ensure the highest quality predictions, we require specific information and samples from our clients. Below are the guidelines for sample submission:

Compound Submission
  • Format - Compounds should be provided in a standard chemical format (e.g., SMILES, SDF, or Excel spreadsheet).
  • Details Required - Each entry must include the compound name, molecular structure (where applicable), and any preliminary biological activity data if available.
Target Information
  • Description - Please submit information regarding the biological targets of interest, including target type (e.g., enzyme, receptor) and any known binding data or characteristics.
  • Format - A concise characterization of the target protein, including relevant identifiers (like UniProt IDs) and any known ligands, should be provided.

Result Delivery

1. Report Format

Results will be provided as a PDF report and a CSV file for easy data manipulation. Both formats will include:

  • An executive summary of findings
  • Detailed predictions for drug activity and binding affinities
  • Visual representations (graphs and charts) of key results
  • Methodological details outlining the predictive approaches used

2. Turnaround Time

For standard drug activity and affinity predictions, the standard turnaround time is approximately 2-3 weeks.
