About LigPlot+
LigPlot+ is a successor to our original LIGPLOT program for the automatic generation of 2D ligand-protein interaction diagrams. It is run from an intuitive java interface that allows on-screen editing of the plots via mouse click-and-drag operations. In addition to the new interface, the program includes several major enhancements over the old version. When two or more ligand-protein complexes are sufficiently similar, LigPlot+ can automatically display their interaction diagrams either superposed or side by side. Any conserved interactions are highlighted. The LigPlot+ suite also now includes an update of the original DIMPLOT program for plotting protein-protein or domain-domain interactions. Users can flexibly select the interface of interest and DIMPLOT will then generate a diagram showing the residue-residue interactions across the interface. To assist in interpretation, the residues in one of the interfaces can be optionally displayed in sequence order.

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.

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.

AutoDock
AutoDock is a suite of automated docking tools. It is designed to predict how small molecules, such as substrates or drug candidates, bind to a receptor of known 3D structure. Over the years, it has been modified and improved to add new functionalities, and multiple engines have been developed. Current distributions of AutoDock consist of two generations of software: AutoDock 4 and AutoDock Vina. More recently, we developed AutoDock-GPU, an accelerated version of AutoDock4 that is hundreds of times faster than the original single-CPU docking code. AutoDock 4 actually consists of two main programs: autodock performs the docking of the ligand to a set of grids describing the target protein; autogrid pre-calculates these grids. In addition to using them for docking, the atomic affinity grids can be visualized. This can help, for example, to guide organic synthetic chemists design better binders.

Claude Mythos 5.1
Claude Mythos 5.1 is Anthropic’s newest Mythos-class model, designed for advanced cybersecurity, biology, scientific research, coding, and long-running knowledge work. It is the same underlying model as Claude Fable 5.1 but uses different safeguards: Fable 5.1 is generally available, while Mythos 5.1 is restricted to trusted access programs with safeguards specifically designed for cybersecurity and life sciences research. The model sets a new performance frontier for agentic coding and demonstrates the strongest cyber capabilities of any Anthropic model released to date. In scientific research, Mythos 5.1 can work with specialized tools and complex workflows across molecular design, computational biology, and other technical domains. In Anthropic’s experiments, it designed high-affinity protein binders across multiple targets and achieved its strongest measured hit rate to date. It also optimized seven open-source protein and genomics deep learning models.
