Your partner in computational drug design
Silicos-it is a Belgian consultancy company, founded in 2010 and specialised in computational drug design. We provide support in all aspects of modern computational drug design, including virtual screening, molecular dynamics applications, and state-of-the-art structure-activity machine learning models. In addition, we are also involved in writing open source software tools.
Since 2013, a strong relation with the University of Antwerp (UA) was established. Because of this, we can provide you with a complete set of solutions to all your questions related to computational drug design. This may include service work under the wings of the UA, submission and execution of a VLAIO project with the UA as academic partner, or some well-defined fee-for-service projects with Silicos-it as the commercial partner.

Results from our collaboration with reMYND published in Science
On May 31, 2024, the results from our collaboration with scientists from the biotechnology company reMYND have been published in Science . In this collaboration, we used extensive LiGaMD simulations to confirm the binding location of reMYND’s lead compound within a complex of several septin proteins. We also performed umbrella sampling to qualitatively estimate the impact of this binding on the stability of the septin-6/septin-7 heterodimer. This interdisciplinary research work is a perfect example of the use of computational tools to validate and explain biological hypotheses. Many thanks to Marc Fivaz and all his colleagues of reMYND!
