Hit recognition is a powerful tool for discovering compounds with the desired activity against a fully validated target. Hit recognition is an important step in the drug discovery process in which the identified small molecule will bind to a target, usually DNA modifying enzymes, or other proteins. As a result, scientists can modify its function and improve its biological activity. Identifying the right hit is key in research because it reduces the attrition rate. Depending on the nature of the project, Creative Enzymes' team applied the most appropriate hit identification method and successfully identified a family of hits that were validated to have the best chance of developing into drug-like compounds.
To identify high quality persistent hit series, Creative Enzymes selects the following mentioned hit identification methods individually or in parallel, depending on the nature of your project.
Our team can analyze the structural information about your specified target and design the expected ligand. We can also identify any differences that may help in designing selective compounds by overlaying the target on the relevant protein structure.
We perform ligand-based virtual screening for hit identification when the 3D structure of the target is unknown, and we work to provide the following services.
Our team can perform pharmacophore studies on a range of known active compounds using conformational analysis, molecular superposition, etc.
We perform similarity searches using multiple molecular descriptors (e.g., physicochemical properties, 2D properties, and 3D properties).
Creative Enzymes is a professional hit identification service provider supporting a wide range of enzyme services. We are able to perform individual tests at the most precise level, as well as design and complete a suite of services as a solution to the subject project. We have accumulated years, helping our clients accelerate drug discovery and development and improve the overall success rate of their projects.
