    Quantum tests a novel targeted anti-tuberculosis compound

    The situation with drug resistant forms of tuberculosis (TB), aka MDR and XDR forms, remains increasingly troubling. XDR form was originally identified in 2006 and by now comprising up to 30-50% cases in some regions of South Africa and India. 30% HIV-positive patients with XDR...

    FFT acceleration demonstration for (surface)GB methods

    Surface charges Generalized Born (SCGB) approach combines the bests of the two worlds: the simplicity of Generalized Born models with the sound physics behind exact continuous electrostatics. Does not only SCGB provide accurate solvation energies for realistic systems, the surface charges obtained in the course...

    Effects of the surface density on the stability of surface electrostatics models

    We’ve been extensively involved in developing new and testing already existing methods for continuous electrostatics problems solution. Large part of the effort is building and understanding of the so called Generalized Born models. It’s been known for quite a while that although various incarnations of...

    Surface GB models: the ultimate test

    Continuous solvation models in general and Generalized Born models alike in particular provide a simplified though fast assessment of the solvation energies of biomolecules. Continuous water models help effectively eliminate vast number of degrees of freedom associated with the dynamics of water molecules and thus...

    Does size matter?

    The goal of drug discovery is to find potent and selective inhibitors for particular targets. A good ligand thus should be small (for better bio-availability) and potent. The larger is the inhibitor, the more there are ways to interact with specific features of a certain...
