    MedChem TK

    MedChem TK provides a powerful fragmentation-based analysis engine that prospectively identifies matched molecular pairs [1] that differ by both heavy-atom and hydrogen-atom substitutions. Matched molecular pairs are a compelling concept used to identify changes in properties of interest accompanying a localized structural change. Additionally, matched pair transformations provide the ability to use alternate structure sources for the generation of new leads and delta-property estimates based on the ensemble of matched structural pairs associated with each transformation.

    Utilities that provide the ability to fragment structures [2] into smaller building blocks are useful for the identification and characterization of new building blocks for lead analysis or docking and evaluation. A number of different fragmentation strategies are provided to aid this activity in MedChem TK.

    Additional functions are available which provide molecular complexity [3,4] metrics. Molecular complexity is useful for scoring or filtering of candidates or for clustering and ranking molecular structures.

    Modeling

    The Modeling suite of toolkits provides the core functionality underlying OpenEye's defining principle that shape & electrostatics are the two fundamental descriptors determining intermolecular interactions. Many of the toolkits in the Modeling suite are directly associated with specific OpenEye applications and can, therefore be used to create new or extend existing functionality associated with those applications.
