The SilcsBio Difference

Services

Our experts provide consultation and training, paired with guided deployment of the SILCS platform technology, to enable drug discovery teams to work faster and more productively.

Software

Patented SILCS technology works in tandem with SILCS-Biologics, CGenFF, and SSFEP for targeted solutions or complete end-to-end drug design workflow — from hit identification to lead optimization.

Platform

Our proprietary CADD software technology, SILCS, allows researchers to visualize and interact with 3D maps of protein surfaces for drug design.

SILCS

Site-Identification by Ligand Competitive Saturation

Our proprietary CADD software technology, SILCS, generates highly accurate 3D free energy maps called “FragMaps” which account for conformational nuances to reveal hidden pockets of opportunity.

SILCS FragMaps technology gives you an intuitive way of interacting with and visualizing the entire protein surface, further enabling your drug discovery team to:

Accelerate drug discovery timelines
Enhance high throughput screening to drive hit selection
Reduce drug development costs
Bolster drug development pipelines

Why SilcsBio outperforms all others

SILCS is built on rigorous free energy calculations employing:

Multiple small molecule probes with diverse functional groups
Explicit solvent modeling
Target molecule flexibility
Advanced sampling methods (GCMC/MD) to identify cryptic pockets

The proof is in the details
