CADD SERVICES
ChemDiv’s CADD team can help accelerate the early stages of your drug discovery project. Experienced scientists with background in molecular modeling, data mining, and cheminformatics work closely with medicinal chemists and biologists.
We provide a number of sophisticated computational services as a part of larger integrated projects or as stand-alone in silico services:
• Structure Based Drug Design – Docking, Molecular Dynamic
• Ligand Based Drug Design- Similarity, Pharmacophore models
• Virtual Screening – HTS support, focused libraries design
• Hit2lead optimization – ADME optimization, scaffold hopping
• and other

Structure Based Drug Design
If reliable structural information about target and/or mode of ligand binding is available, structure based methods could accompany ligand based approaches to help in design and optimization of novel compounds.
- Protein structure refinement, loop modeling
- Binding site identification
- Homology modeling
- Flexible docking – induced fit, etc.
- Docking based QSAR models (Docking to Protein Pocket Classification/Regression (dpc) models as implemented in Molsoft package)
- Molecular dynamics studies for additional analysis of binding mode
