Biotherapeutics

Biotherapeutics are winning an increasing share of pharmaceutical R&D dollars because of the potential benefits they offer over traditional, small molecule drugs.  Biotherapeutics are derived from biological systems, and as a result they are more structurally complex than small molecule drugs, which are synthesized through traditional chemical methods.  This greater complexity means that biotherapeutics can potentially achieve better selectivity and treat a greater range of diseases.  However, it also means that researchers face new challenges in terms of target identification, protein optimization, peptide and miRNA candidate selection, biological-entity management, and bioprocess manufacturing and formulation.

Accelrys not only delivers the powerful scientific algorithms needed to identify and develop complex biotherapeutics, but also bioactivity databases for gaining insight into drugability, drawing tools for editing and comparing biological sequences, an electronic lab notebook for recording your experimental work, and decision-support tools for managing and fully leveraging your entire organization’s R&D data.
