Accelrys Releases New and Enhanced Scripting and Workflow Capabilities in Materials Studio(R) 4.2.New Scripting and Workflow Tools Enable Customers to Customize and Automate their Modeling and Simulation Tasks SAN DIEGO San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. -- Accelrys, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ACCL ACCL American Canadian Caribbean Line ACCL Acceleration ACCL American College of Construction Lawyers ACCL Accreditation Council for Clinical Lipidology (Allied Health Certification Program) ACCL Amway China Co Limited ) today announced the release of Materials Studio Materials Studio is software for simulation and modelling of materials developed and distributed by Accelrys, a company specializing in research software for computational chemistry, bioinformatics, cheminformatics, molecular simulation, and quantum mechanics. [R] 4.2, the newest version of its chemicals, materials and pharmaceutical development modeling and simulation platform. Materials Studio 4.2 provides scripting enhancements, new Materials Visualizer vi·su·al·iz·er n. One who visualizes, especially a person whose mental images are predominantly visual. Noun 1. visualizer - one whose prevailing mental imagery is visual visualiser tools and innovative workflow capabilities for automating and customizing modeling and simulation tasks in the areas of catalysis catalysis Modification (usually acceleration) of a chemical reaction rate by addition of a catalyst, which combines with the reactants but is ultimately regenerated so that its amount remains unchanged and the chemical equilibrium of the conditions of the reaction is not , crystallization Crystallization The formation of a solid from a solution, melt, vapor, or a different solid phase. Crystallization from solution is an important industrial operation because of the large number of materials marketed as crystalline particles. , polymers and visualization. Materials Studio 4.2 also includes the new products Adsorption adsorption, adhesion of the molecules of liquids, gases, and dissolved substances to the surfaces of solids, as opposed to absorption, in which the molecules actually enter the absorbing medium (see adhesion and cohesion). Locator and a graphical interface See GUI. to Gaussian([R]) 2003. The MaterialsScript Application Programmers Interface (API) provides a powerful method for generating complete workflows that integrate multiple components of Materials Studio and can be customized to an individual's research needs. Materials Studio 4.2 extends this scripting capability to include DMol3 and Polymorph polymorph /poly·morph/ (pol´i-morf) colloquial term for polymorphonuclear leukocyte. polymorph a colloquial term for a polymorphonuclear leukocyte. Predictor. Incorporating DMol3 into scripted workflows makes it easy to model homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis Heterogeneous catalysis is a chemistry term which describes catalysis where the catalyst is in a different phase (ie. solid, liquid and gas, but also oil and water) to the reactants. Heterogeneous catalysts provide a surface for the chemical reaction to take place on. , and other complex processes relevant to the chemicals, electronics, automotive, and aerospace sectors. Polymorph Predictor enables researchers to study the packing behaviour of organic molecules in crystalline environments which is crucial towards understanding solid forms in Pharmaceutical Development. In addition, new mesoscale tools allow users to create complex starting morphologies which are critical to understanding the properties of materials at the nanoscale. Accelrys continues integrating third party collaborative tools such as Gaussian([R])2003 with the addition of Gaussian Interface which extends the capabilities of Materials Studio by integrating some of the most accurate quantum mechanical methods available. This is especially important for our customer's research efforts in the areas of catalysis, and reaction engineering. Adsorption Locator is another new module in Materials Studio resulting from the Nanotechnology Consortium which helps researchers understand phenomena of key importance in coatings development, catalysis, gas sensor development, and general materials discovery. "Materials Studio 4.2 continues to build upon Accelrys' integrated multi-scale modelling and simulation and platform," said Accelrys' President and Chief Executive Officer Mark J. Emkjer. "Creating flexible, customizable and fully integrated scientific business intelligence solutions in the chemical, materials and pharmaceutical development areas allows us to drive our solutions downstream towards the customer's final product." Key functionality of Materials Studio Reflex can now be accessed within the Accelrys scientific operating platform, SciTegic Pipeline Pilot, environment. Reflex, a comprehensive package for analyzing powder diffraction Powder diffraction is a scientific technique using X-Ray or neutron diffraction on powder or microcrystalline samples for structural characterization of materials. Ideally, every possible crystalline orientation is represented equally in a powdered sample. data, can be used to access important information about a drug sample, such as phase identity, mixture composition, and the degree of crystallinity based on powder X-ray data. This new functionality positions Accelrys to move downstream from drug discovery into pharmaceutical development.
