Life science modelling and simulation gets better
Accelrys will expand its Discovery Studio software environment with new and enhanced life science modelling and simulation functionality, including pharmacophore modelling and Perl scripting
It can be used to chemistry-enable existing informatics systems or extend the capabilities of other Accord products and solutions.
New features in Accord SDK 6.2 include a new CIP calculator and improved performance and support for the Accord Chemistry XML format, a new open and extensible format that enables users to store and transfer chemistry data to third party applications without losing Accord-specific features.
Accord Chemistry Cartridge enhances the power of Oracle for chemical applications by adding a new chemistry data type, which allows users to build solutions that store, index, and search for chemical structures.
Accord Chemistry Cartridge 6.2 provides up to 12x faster sub-structure search performance over the previous release, support for multiple processors when performing chemistry searching and other performance enhancements designed to enable users to build high-performance, chemistry-aware applications and solutions.
"These exciting new Accord releases significantly extend and augment the existing Accord family of products and will provide great benefits to our customers," said Frank Brown, chief science officer of Accelrys.
"With the launch of ADE 3.0, chemists now have a real alternative to MDL's Isis/Base," continued Brown.
"The release of the Accord SDK and Accord Chemistry Cartridge further enhance the capabilities of these robust components by providing enhanced performance and chemistry capabilities to enable our customers to build chemistry-enabled solutions of the highest quality".
