3decision® serves as an innovative cloud-based repository for protein structures, focusing on efficient structural data management and sophisticated analytics to expedite the discovery of small molecules and biologics through structure-based drug design.
The platform consolidates and standardizes both experimental and computational protein structures sourced from public databases such as RCSB PDB and AlphaFoldDB, along with proprietary datasets, while supporting various formats like PDBx/mmCIF and ModelCIF. This approach guarantees straightforward access to a range of structural data, including X-Ray, NMR, cryo-EM, and modeled structures, which promotes teamwork and enhances scientific research endeavors.
In addition to mere storage, 3decision® enriches its database entries with significant metadata and sequence details, covering aspects such as protein-ligand interactions, antibody annotations, and binding site characteristics. Its advanced analytical tools facilitate the identification of potential druggable sites, evaluation of off-target effects, and comparisons of binding sites, effectively converting extensive structural data into practical insights.
Moreover, the cloud-based nature of this platform encourages seamless collaboration among research teams, making it an essential tool for advancing drug discovery initiatives.
