OTAVA Ltd. offers MORE THAN 200 NEW FOCUSED COMPOUND LIBRARIES FOR SCREENING.

They include target-specific compound libraries, e.g, P38 kinase inhibitors, cathepsin B inhibitors, HCV serine protease inhibitors and many others as well as libraries with general pharmacological activities, e.g, antiallergic, antiviral, analgesic and other activities. The focused libraries were designed especially for research and development of new lead compounds.

The new method of distribution integrals evaluations for high throughput virtual screening

yarmoluk submitted, created time 10 months 6 days (www.bioorganica.org.ua)

A new method of estimating the binding affinity of small organic compounds bound to biological targets is developed. The method incorporates the explicit evaluation of entropy loss for both internal and rotation-translation degrees of freedom. A small set of CK2 inhibitors with resolved crystal structures of their complexes with protein kinase CK2 was successfully fitted to experimentally derived binding constants Ki. The method is computationally efficient and accurate enough to be used in the field of high throughput receptor-oriented virtual screening.

Nearly 90 percent of babies receive recommended newborn screening tests

bianjie submitted, created time 1 year 5 months (www.eurekalert.org)

Nearly 90 percent of U.S. babies are born in states that require screening for at least 21 life-threatening disorders, according to the 2007 March of Dimes Newborn Screening Report Card. In 2005, only 38 percent of infants were born in states that required screening for at least 21 of the 29 genetic and functional conditions recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics. If diagnosed early, these conditions can be managed or treated to prevent severe consequences.
