Koffee binding affinity is the latest addition to Kvantify's
computational drug discovery platform, helping the pharmaceutical
and biotech industries design new drugs with an unmatched
combination of speed and precision.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kvantify has launched a new
computational method that can accelerate the early phases of drug
discovery. The method stands out significantly from other solutions
on the market and is a strong addition to Kvantify's computational
drug discovery platform, Koffee.
"Currently, benchmark tests show that our binding affinity tool
is 100 times faster than comparable state-of-the-art methods with
the same level of accuracy," says Hans Henrik Knudsen, CEO of
Kvantify.
Binding affinity is a key parameter in drug discovery that
refers to the strength of the interaction between a drug (or
molecule) and its target protein. A molecule must interact strongly
with a biological target to induce a therapeutic effect, and that
is why this calculation is crucial in drug development.
Fully physics-based
When designing new drugs, there is a nearly endless number of
possible variations and alterations, and that is why speedy and
accurate calculations are so important.
"Matching our speed with high accuracy gives us the option to
push accurate physics-based binding affinity calculations further
up the drug discovery pipeline," says Hans
Henrik Knudsen.
Not only is the calculation time down to a few minutes, there
are other advantages to Koffee binding affinity.
"Our method requires no manual setup or parameterization. And as
it is fully physics-based, there is no requirement for training
data in contrast to machine learning and AI-based methods," says
Hans Henrik Knudsen.
