OpenEye Scientific Software is an American software company founded by Anthony Nicholls in 1997.[1] It develops large-scale molecular modelling applications and toolkits. Following OpenEye's acquisition by Cadence Design Systems for $500 million in September 2022, the company was rebranded to OpenEye Cadence Molecular Sciences and operates as a business unit under Cadence.[2][1]

Scope

Primarily geared towards drug discovery and design, areas of application include conformation generation, docking, shape comparison, charge/electrostatics, cheminformatics and visualization. The software is designed for scientific rigor, as well as speed, scalability and platform independence.


Application software

  • AFITT - Crystallographic refinement and analysis.
  • BROOD - Bioisostere identification using shape, chemistry and electrostatic similarity.
  • EON - Chemical similarity analysis via comparison of electrostatics overlay.
  • FastROCS - Real-time 3D molecular shape searches, using GPU technology.
  • FILTER - Molecular screening and selection based on physical property or functional group.
  • OEDocking - Molecular docking tools including FRED (fast docking), HYBRID (ligand guided docking) and POSIT (ligand guided pose prediction).
  • OMEGA - Fast, accurate conformer generation, for linear and macrocyclic molecules.
  • pKa Prospector - A database of high quality pKa measurements.
  • QUACPAC - Tautomers, protonation states and charges for small molecules and proteins.
  • ROCS - Chemical similarity analysis via rapid 3D molecular shape searches.
  • SZMAP - Identify water sites in a protein binding site for improving ligand potency.
  • SZYBKI - Fast forcefield optimization of ligands in gas-phase, solution, or within a protein active site.
  • VIDA - Graphical user interface that visualizes, analyzes and manages corporate collections of molecular structures and information.
