> Schrödinger (NASDAQ: $SDGR) uses quantum mechanics to design new medicines and materials. Schrödinger is also a key AI winner.

So like Theranos? But with all the latest marketing buzzwords.

The company is an established leader in molecular design software suite. Everyone uses their docking software.

There is also another definition you may or may not find as interesting!

Not remotely, Schrödinger is well established and basically leads the commoditized computational chemistry market. In fact, there are very many companies that would love to find a cheaper alternative to Schrödinger tools, but no alternatives are performant enough.

Interesting, but doesn't really overlap with Glide docking at all.

Ligand-receptor docking is one of the many additional modules ModelMole does as part of the custom pipelines, along with things like pH constant, thermal stability and more. I know as I'm one of the directors, happy to talk more if you're interested.

Interesting. Couple questions:

Why only mention peptides?

Does it work on membrane proteins?

How do performance and cost compare to Glide? Or Vina? (Performance anyways)

Are you implying that quantum mechanics is not that important to medicine and material design?
