Viper: Automated Ligand Design

Viper is DesertSci’s powerful ligand design software based on Scorpion technology.

Using pharmacophore searching and fragment scanning, Viper identifies areas for improving protein-ligand interaction networks and cooperativity, leading to tighter binding ligands.

Viper does chemistry in a computer.

Guided by Scorpion and ViewContacts, it builds new molecules, swapping out chemical groups, adding in new ones.  Viper is fully integrated into Proasis and allows synthetic chemists to see new drug designs with the click of a button when they start work in the morning.

With Viper you can identify new ligand substituents that substantially improve binding affinities without having to add large groups.

Contact us now to arrange your ‘obligation free’ Viper demonstration via video conference or site visit and see the DesertSci difference for yourself.
