LigandScout

User Friendly Advanced Molecular Design

The LigandScout software suite comprises the most user friendly molecular design tools available to chemists and modelers worldwide. The platform seamlessly integrates computational technology for designing, filtering, searching and prioritizing molecules for synthesis and biological assessment.

Our advanced algorithms for 3D pharmacophore modeling, virtual screening, activity profiling and virtual library design create an inspiring and productive experience for multidisciplinary teams. By providing excellent prediction quality with unprecedented speed, LigandScout successfully addresses challenges in interactive molecular design.

The algorithms are scientifically validated [1-4] and based on multiple years of experience in modeling software design, while the application corresponds to state-of-the-art information technology. The full-featured 3D graphical user interface with multiple undo-levels makes the molecular design process efficient and transparent. Cloud computing is available from the GUI via the LigandScout Remote [5] option.

LigandScout runs on all common operating systems, and is available in three different options: LigandScout Essential, LigandScout Advanced, and LigandScout Expert. Additionally, we offer the entire LigandScout functionality and some additional tools in the Inte:Ligand LigandScout Knime Extensions package.
