Template-based Drug Design

At CD ComputaBio, we specialize in template-based drug design, leveraging advanced computational simulations and cutting-edge technologies to expedite the process of drug discovery. Our comprehensive services include template selection, molecular docking, virtual screening, and detailed reporting, tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients.

Introduction to Template-Based Drug Design

Template-based drug design is a strategic approach that utilizes existing biological templates, such as known active compounds or protein structures, to identify new lead candidates. This method capitalizes on the knowledge of existing molecules, facilitating the prediction of their pharmacological properties and enhancing the efficiency of the drug discovery process. By employing structural biology and computational modeling, researchers can create novel drug candidates that are both effective and economical.

Structural similarity

Template Selection and Analysis

  • Structural Similarity: Utilizing 3D structure comparisons of known ligands and targets.
  • Biological Relevance: Ensuring selected templates are biologically relevant to the disease target.
  • Pharmacophore Modelling: Developing models based on the essential features responsible for biological activity.

Multi-level screening

Virtual Screening

  • In Silico Libraries: Personalized libraries meticulously designed for distinct therapeutic fields, enhancing targeted medical research and development.
  • Multi-Level Screening: Employing ligand-based and structure-based screens to comprehensively assess compound viability.

Lead compound design

Lead Compound Design

  • Fragment-Based Design: Analyzing the binding characteristics of small fragments and merging them into larger, more complex structures.
  • De Novo Design: Generating novel molecular structures from scratch, based on the information derived from the template.

Molecular Docking Strategies

Local Docking

This technology is widely used in drug design and molecular biology research. The main purpose is to simulate how small molecules (such as drug molecules) interact with biological macromolecules (such as proteins, DNA), so as to predict their binding mode, binding energy and other information.

Global Docking

Global Docking is a method that performs a comprehensive search over the entire protein surface. This method does not assume that the binding site is known in advance, but rather uses an algorithm to find potential binding sites over the entire protein surface.

Template-Based Docking

When researchers have a series of known active compounds and their protein binding structures, they can use these known structures as templates to predict new compounds and thus screen out potential drug candidate molecules.

Sample Requirements

Sample Data Descriptions
For Ligand-Based Virtual Screening List of known active ligands with their structural information (SMILES, SDF, or 3D conformations).
