Database mining for virtual screening is a crucial aspect of computer-aided drug design (CADD), offering the potential to discover novel and effective drug candidates from vast amounts of chemical data. At CD ComputaBio, we specialize in providing comprehensive and efficient database mining services to support your virtual screening efforts.
The explosion of available chemical and biological data in recent years has presented both an opportunity and a challenge in drug discovery. Database mining allows us to sift through this wealth of information to identify compounds that have the potential to interact with a specific target. It is a powerful approach that can significantly accelerate the drug discovery process and reduce the costs associated with traditional screening methods.

Compound Database Library Utilization
We host an extensive library of chemical compounds that can be accessed for virtual screening. Our comprehensive databases include curated libraries of known drugs, bioactive compounds, and natural products, ensuring a diverse pool of candidates for virtual screening.
Target Prediction and Identification
By employing advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques, we identify and predict potential biological targets for specific compounds. This service helps researchers focus on viable targets, paving the way for more targeted drug development efforts.
Structure-Based Virtual Screening
Our structure-based approach uses 3D structural data of target proteins to evaluate how well various compounds fit into the binding sites. This service includes molecular docking studies, allowing us to predict the binding affinity and interactions between the compounds and their targets.
Ligand-Based Virtual Screening
For scenarios where the target structure is not available, we employ ligand-based screening techniques. By analyzing the chemical properties of known ligands, we can identify new compounds with similar structures or activities. This process helps expand the library of potential drug candidates.
Database Selection
Based on the consultation, we choose the most appropriate databases for the screening process.
