Description

Aurora utilizes principles of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics alongside a sophisticated continuous water model to assess the solvation effects on ligand binding affinities. This methodology is significantly different from the traditional scoring functions typically employed for predicting binding affinities. By integrating entropy and aqueous electrostatic contributions directly into the computations, Aurora's algorithms yield far more precise and reliable binding free energy values. The interaction between a ligand and a protein is fundamentally defined by the binding free energy value. This free energy (F) serves as a thermodynamic measure that correlates directly with the experimentally determined inhibition constant (IC50), influenced by factors such as electrostatic interactions, quantum effects, aqueous solvation forces, and the statistical characteristics of the molecules involved. Non-additivity in F arises primarily from two key components: the electrostatic and solvation energy, and the entropy, which together contribute to the complexity of ligand-protein interactions. Understanding these contributions is essential for the accurate prediction of binding affinities in drug design and molecular biology.

Description

The biopharmaceutical sector today is characterized by its intricacy, driven by increasing demands for enhanced specificity and safety, the emergence of new treatment classes, and the complexity of disease mechanisms. To navigate this intricate landscape, a profound comprehension of therapeutic dynamics is essential. Advanced modeling and simulation techniques offer a distinctive approach to investigate biological and physicochemical phenomena at the atomic scale. This methodology not only informs physical experimentation but also expedites the drug discovery and development phases. BIOVIA Discovery Studio integrates more than three decades of peer-reviewed research with cutting-edge in silico methodologies, including molecular mechanics, free energy assessments, and biotherapeutics developability, all within a unified framework. By equipping researchers with a comprehensive suite of tools, it facilitates a deeper examination of protein chemistry, thereby accelerating the discovery of both small and large molecule therapeutics, from Target Identification all the way through to Lead Optimization. Ultimately, this synergy of research and technology underscores the vital role of innovative tools in transforming biopharmaceutical advancements.
