The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre and SciTegic Announce the Release of GOLD Virtual Screening Protocols for Pipeline Pilot.CAMBRIDGE, U.K. & 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. -- The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) is a crystallographic organisation based in Cambridge, England. It is a non-profit organisation whose primary role is the compilation and maintenance of the Cambridge Structural Database, a database of small molecule crystal (CCDC CCDC Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre CCDC Centre City Development Corporation (San Diego, California) CCDC Consultant in Communicable Disease Control CCDC Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor CCDC Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition ) and SciTegic(R) are pleased to announce the availability of integration components that allow CCDC's industry-leading GOLD docking program to be accessed through SciTegic's innovative data pipelining software, Pipeline Pilot(TM). This integration will allow Pipeline Pilot users to construct robust, automated virtual screening protocols that rely on GOLD's validated and accurate protein-ligand docking Protein-ligand docking is a molecular modelling technique. The goal of protein-ligand docking is to predict the position and orientation of a ligand (a small molecule) when it is bound to a protein receptor or enzyme. and scoring to rank corporate, vendor or virtual compound libraries accessed or generated from within Pipeline Pilot. Such a process allows chemists and biologists to prioritize compounds for synthesis and screening based on their predicted binding to one or more targets. The integration components are freely available to existing Pipeline Pilot and GOLD customers. "We are very pleased to work closely with CCDC to provide Pipeline Pilot's first capabilities in structure-based virtual screening," said Mathew Hahn, Ph.D., CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of SciTegic Inc. "GOLD is a recognized industry standard for docking and scoring. Deploying this method through Pipeline Pilot allows easy-to-use access, even through the Web, for a wide audience within discovery organizations." "Use of tools such as Pipeline Pilot for integration of GOLD with other components of structure based molecular design strategies represents a powerful extension of the program's application," said Robin Taylor Robin Taylor is a Northern Irish television presenter. He is best known as a continuity announcer and newsreader at UTV, where he has appeared since 1993. Like his colleague Julian Simmons, Robin can sometimes be seen announcing in-vision. , Development Director of the CCDC. "Our collaboration with SciTegic illustrates the ability to interface this program with other systems." About SciTegic SciTegic, Inc. is a privately held San Diego company that develops and markets informatics software to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The company is pioneering a new technology approach called "Data Pipelining" to process drug discovery data with unprecedented flexibility. This new methodology has established its utility by accelerating informatics research for nearly one thousand users at over one hundred customer sites worldwide.

About The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre The CCDC is an independent non-profit organisation, which compiles and distributes the Cambridge Structural Database The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), is a repository for small molecule crystal structures. Scientists use x-ray crystallography to determine the packing of individual molecules in a crystal. (CSD CSD Commission on Sustainable Development CSD Serbian Dinar (ISO currency code) CSD Christopher Street Day CSD Circuit Switched Data (Sprint) CSD Computer Science Department CSD Community School District ), and develops associated software systems for information retrieval and data analysis, as well as knowledge bases derived from the CSD and the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The CCDC also develops tools for use in the life sciences to aid drug discovery, these include GOLD, as well as SuperStar, for exploring protein ligand interactions, and Relibase+, a fully searchable database of crystallographic crys·tal·log·ra·phy n.
