Using X-ray crystallography fragment data from COVID Moonshot, we demonstrate that SILVR can perform both fragment merging and fragment linking, generating molecules complementary to the protein binding site, all without any knowledge of these tasks. (3/6)


Thanks to the readily available code for the diffusion model proposed by Emiel Hoogeboom we could condition it at runtime with X-ray fragments of Diamond XChem COVID Moonshot. New molecules: âś… Have the same stability as original model âś… New molecules fit the MPro binding site


The Centre for Medicines Discovery team in New York this week for the ASAP Discovery meeting. What a privilege to at last hang out with the people in person we were in the trenches with since COVID Moonshot. And getting to know all the new people joining our pandemic preparedness effort.


New paper 📢 During COVID, many drug discovery efforts advanced at breakneck speed, leading to multiple NCE approvals. Our CSO Alpha Lee co-led an industry roundtable to identify the drivers for rapid discovery. Take a read of the findings...🧵 ➡️ nature.com/articles/s4157… 🧵
