The Book of Nimbus

LifeSciVC

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.

Reaching cruising altitude: New discovery tools to target RNA

Dark Matter Blog

The initial discussions that would lead to the PEARL-seq platform involved scanning the literature for the wings, propellers, and engines that we thought we could use. Finally, if we found an rSM that had biological activity, could we correlate that activity with the ability of the rSM to bind RNA?

Why fragments?

Molecular Design

Fragment-based lead discovery (FBLD) actually has origins in both crystallography [ V1992 | A1996 ] and computational chemistry [ M1991 | B1992 | E1994 ]. I should also stress that the modern isothermal calorimeter is an engineering marvel and I'd always want this option for label-free, affinity measurement in any project.
