NVIDIA BioNeMo
BioNeMo is an AI-powered drug discovery cloud service and framework built on NVIDIA NeMo Megatron for training and deploying large biomolecular transformer AI models at a supercomputing scale. The service includes pre-trained large language models (LLMs) and native support for common file formats for proteins, DNA, RNA, and chemistry, providing data loaders for SMILES for molecular structures and FASTA for amino acid and nucleotide sequences. The BioNeMo framework will also be available for download for running on your own infrastructure. ESM-1, based on Meta AI’s state-of-the-art ESM-1b, and ProtT5 are transformer-based protein language models that can be used to generate learned embeddings for tasks like protein structure and property prediction. OpenFold, a deep learning model for 3D structure prediction of novel protein sequences, will be available in BioNeMo service.

SILCS
Site-Identification by Ligand Competitive Saturation (SILCS) generates 3D maps (FragMaps) of interaction patterns for chemical functional groups with your target molecule. Site-Identification by Ligand Competitive Saturation (SILCS) generates 3D maps (FragMaps) of interaction patterns for chemical functional groups with your target molecule. SILCS reveals intricacies of dynamics and provides tools to optimize ligand scaffolds using qualitative and quantitative binding pockets insights allowing more rapid and effective drug design. SILCS uses multiple small molecule probes with various functional groups, explicit solvent modeling, and target molecule flexibility to perform protein target mapping. Visualize favorable interactions with the target macromolecule. Gain insights to design better ligands with optimally placed functional groups.

Aurora Drug Discovery
Aurora employs quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and an advanced continuous water model for solvation effects to calculate ligand´s binding affinities. This approach differs dramatically from scoring functions that are commonly used for binding affinity predictions. By including the entropy and aqueous electrostatic contributions in to the calculations directly, Aurora algorithms produce much more accurate and robust values of binding free energies. Interaction of a ligand with a protein is characterized by the value of binding free energy. The free energy (F) is the thermodynamic quantity that is directly related to experimentally measurable value of inhibition constant (IC50) and depends on electrostatic, quantum, aqueous solvation forces, as well as on statistical properties of interacting molecules. There are two major contributing quantities leading to non-additivity in F: 1) the electrostatic and solvation energy and 2) the entropy.
