NEW! Discovery Studio 3.1 announced

In case you haven’t heard, we recently released the latest version of Discovery Studio – our integrated modeling and simulation solution for both small molecule and biotherapeutics-based research. Version 3.1 includes many new features and enhancements including:

  • Science
    • A new scientific method to calculate the aggregation propensity of proteins has been added.

New enhancements to the interface have also been added to improve the ease of job deployment and analysis of results.
    • New X-ray crystallography functionality, HT-XPIPE, provides an automated pipeline for placement and refinement of protein-ligand complexes in high-throughput mode.
    • Enhancements to many of the Pharmacophore and Macromolecule protocols have been made.
  • Deployment
    • Full compatibility with Pipeline Pilot 8.5.
  • Collaboration
    • Discovery Studio 3.1 can now save 3D molecules directly to HTML and Microsoft PowerPoint™ slides.
    • Our free 3D plug-in, Discovery Studio ActiveX control, has been updated to support Discovery Studio 3.1.
    • New storyboard playback features have been added as well as the ability to export movies for ease of knowledge transfer.
