VeraChem LLC was founded in 2000 to advance the state of the art in computer-aided drug discovery and molecular design by developing computational chemistry methods that are based on cutting-edge basic science but are also applicable in applied science research settings. Efficient high-performance software implementations of these methods coupled with comprehensive user support are a central company strategy for product development. Current VeraChem software capabilities include protein-ligand and host-guest binding affinity prediction, fast calculation of accurate partial atomic charges for drug-like compounds, computation of energies and forces with all the commonly used empirical force fields, automatic generation of alternate resonance forms of drug-like compounds, conformational search with the powerful Tork algorithm, and automatic detection of topological and 3D molecular symmetries. VeraChem’s software packages are constructed from a modular code base.

Transform drug discovery and materials research with advanced molecular modeling. Our physics-based computational platform integrates differentiated solutions for predictive modeling, data analytics, and collaboration to enable rapid exploration of chemical space. Our platform is deployed by industry leaders worldwide for drug discovery, as well as for materials science in fields as diverse as aerospace, energy, semiconductors, and electronics displays. The platform powers our own drug discovery efforts, from target identification to hit discovery to lead optimization. It also drives our research collaborations to develop novel medicines for critical public health needs. With more than 150 Ph.D. scientists on our team, we invest heavily in R&D. We’ve published over 400 peer-reviewed papers that demonstrate the strength of our physics-based approaches, and we’re continually pushing the limits of computer modeling.
