Thanks to Mark Fortner for sharing this article. It showed up today on my virtual screening feed from PubMed, but it’s too good of an article to miss. Similar to AutoGrow, e-LEA3D is using fragments to built lead compounds. Building blocks are extracted from Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry database by Symyx. It was interesting to find that besides DOCK Blaster there are also TarFisDock and SCFBIO servers that are using DOCK. Cloud Computing For Drug Discovery is an interesting subject and I knew that there are servers such as DockingServer, DrugFinder and GridSystems that are doing excellent job in this area. It’s interesting also to mention that current version of e-LEA3D is using PLANTS for docking and Frog to generate 3D conformations. The most exciting part is that I rediscovered ZODIAC which is also a GUI for PLANTS. ZODIAC is very similar in spirit to PyRx in that it’s an open source state-of-the-art tool for running molecular docking experiments. In summary, both e-LEA3D and ZODIAC are terrific tools for drug discovery.
