VeraChem Reviews

The biopharmaceutical market is complex today. There are growing demands for better specificity and safety, new treatment classes, and more complex mechanisms of disease. To keep up with this complexity, we need to have a better understanding of therapeutic behavior. Simulation and modeling provide unique opportunities to explore biological and physical processes down to the atomic levels. This can be used to guide physical experimentation and accelerate the discovery and development process. BIOVIA Discovery Studio brings together more than 30 years of peer reviewed research and world-class in-silico techniques like molecular mechanics and free energy calculations. It also allows for biotherapeutics developmentability and other related topics into one environment. It gives researchers a complete toolkit to explore the nuances in protein chemistry and to catalyze the discovery of small and big molecule therapeutics, from Target ID to Lead Optimizement.

BioNeMo, an AI-powered cloud service for drug discovery and framework, is built on NVIDIA NeMo Megatron. It is used to train and deploy large biomolecular Transformer AI models at supercomputing scale. The service provides pre-trained large language models (LLMs), native support for common file types for proteins, DNA, and chemistry, as well as data loaders for SMILES molecular structures and FASTA amino acid and nucleotide sequencings. You can also download the BioNeMo framework to run on your own infrastructure. ESM-1, which is based on Meta AI’s state-of the-art ESM-1b and ProtT5 respectively, are transformer-based protein-language models that can be used for learning embeddings for tasks such as property prediction and protein structure. BioNeMo will offer OpenFold, a deep-learning model for 3D structure prediction and novel protein sequences.
