Reaching cruising altitude: New discovery tools to target RNA

Dark Matter Blog

The majority of small molecule drugs induce their therapeutic effects by seeking out and binding to their intended target while avoiding most other molecules in the dense milieu of the cell interior. Our overall mission at Arrakis is to expand the set of “druggable” targets for small-molecule medicines to include RNA.

The premise at the time was that putting computational chemistry in the primary position for new molecule ideation would upend the drug discovery paradigm. set up a “virtual project team,” leverage Schrödinger scientists to lead computational chemistry, and do all the wet work at CROs. It did just that.
