At CD ComputaBio, we provide our clients with superior Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) solutions. One of our top-tier specialties lies in our protein modeling services. Understanding and modeling the three-dimensional structure of proteins is a crucial aspect in current computational biology and drug discovery processes. At CD ComputaBio, we possess an extensive track record of fulfilling our clients' requirements in the field of protein modeling.
Introduction of Protein Modeling Service
Protein modeling is a critical component of drug discovery that utilizes computational techniques to predict and analyze the structure and function of proteins. By simulating the three-dimensional structure of proteins and their interactions with ligands, protein modeling plays a crucial role in rational drug design, lead optimization, and understanding biological processes at the molecular level.

Our Service
Membrane Protein Modeling Service
Membrane proteins play various essential roles, which include signal transduction, transporting molecules across the membrane, cell adhesion, and more. Our membrane protein modeling service techniques utilize both homology modeling and ab initio modeling (when crystal structures are unavailable).
Receptor Protein Modeling Services
Receptor proteins play a pivotal role in signal transduction pathways. By understanding the manner in which these proteins interact with ligands, we can gain important insight into drug design and development. Our service provides accurate receptor protein modeling based on experimentally solved receptor-ligand complexes.
Antibody Protein Modeling Service
At CD ComputaBio, we recognize the role of antibodies in the field of therapeutic development and diagnostics. Our antibody protein modeling service contributes an accurate understanding of the structure-function relationship of antibodies. Our service includes both the sequence and structural alignment of the variable and constant regions, heavy and light chains, and the H3 loop, essential in antibody-antigen binding.
G Protein-coupled Receptor Modeling Service
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are an integral part of signal transduction pathways. As the target of a large proportion of drugs currently on the market, accurate structural representation of GPCRs is essential in drug discovery. Our GPCR modeling service generate detailed models of GPCRs that allow clients to study dynamic events like ligand binding, receptor activation, G protein coupling, and others.
