OpenEye Workshop: Rapid lead identification with ROCS and FRED

[George Vacek <vacek!at!eyesopen.com>]

 OpenEye will be hosting a training workshop at the ACS National Meeting
 in Philadelphia.  If you plan to attend that meeting and would like an
 introduction to ROCS and FRED, please consider attending our workshop.
 Title: Rapid lead identification with ROCS and FRED
 Wednesday, August 25, 3:30-6:00pm
 Room 305, Pennsylvania Convention Center, ACS National Meeting in LA
Attendance is free but seating is limited and strictly enforced by
 ACS.

 Abstract:
The chemistry of molecular interactions boils down to shape and
 electrostatics. This workshop focuses on rapid lead identification in
 drug discovery using OpenEye software developed under that philosophy.
 It will begin with a brief overview of OpenEye's complete offering,
 before focusing on FRED and ROCS.  FRED offers extremely fast,
 exhaustive docking of ligands within a protein active site, while the
 ligand-based ROCS provides rapid 3D molecular shape similarity
 searches.
 Either can be guided by known pharmacophore features.  The workshop
 will
 include some theory, example cases, software demonstrations and the
 opportunity for hands-on tutorial.
