		| Is there a docking program fast enough for in silico 
		screening of large data files?
 | 
		
		
		Molegro
		(www.molegro.com) 
		Virtual Docker provides 
		 High 
		docking accuracy: 
		the docking engine has been proven to correctly identify binding modes 
		with high accuracy. Molegro Virtual Docker outperforms other docking 
		programs with regard to identification of correct binding modes (see the
		
		
		technology pages 
		for more information). 
		 Easy-to-use interface: 
		the built-in wizards enable the user to easily setup and perform docking 
		runs. Advanced visualization and analysis tools are provided to examine 
		ligand-receptor interactions and fine-tune found docking solutions. 
		 Low 
		cost 
		– 800 Euro for academia 
		AKos GmbH is 
		now a reseller for molegro products. | 
		
		1 sec 
		
		Time it takes to dock one molecule with molnegro's Virtual Docker.

		| Is there a reliable prediction software for biological effects?
 | 
		
		
		PASS
		(www.akosgmbh.de/pass)  
		predicts biological activities, including pharmacological effects, 
		mechanisms of action, toxic and adverse effects, interaction with 
		metabolic enzymes and transporters, influence on gene expression, etc.
		 
		To obtain the 
		predicted biological activity profile for your compound, only a 2D 
		molfile is necessary. 
		PASS works 
		only for drug-like compounds, with 250<MW<1250. 
		Try out PASS 
		Online at 
		http://www.pharmaexpert.ru/PASSOnline/ 
		and see for yourself. | 
		
		4444 
		
		biological activities that can be predicted with PASS.

		| Where can I buy compounds and get a 
		good service? | AKos GmbH 
		sells test compounds. We have a sample collection of over 10 million 
		compounds. You can search full structures in CWM Global Search or 
		substructure search using PubChem. 
		A large 
		portion of the business is providing custom synthesis. | 
		
		10 Million 
		
		number of compounds surpassed in the AKos Samples screening database

		| Google gives me too many irrelevant hits. Is there 
		a better method? | CWM Global Search 
		(www.akosgmbh.de/globalsearch) 
		allows scientists to solve chemical structure oriented scientific 
		problems on the Internet by using federated searches over many excellent 
		sources. 
		New version 
		released! The profiles in 'Simple Search' contain now all sources that 
		are relevant to a topic. Customize your 'Simple Search' screen by 
		creating your own search profiles (tiles).   
		In a few weeks 
		we will present a new version which will show the first results 
		immediately, while searching continues in the background. All changes 
		will occur without any intervention required by the user.   | 
		
		100 Million 
		
		approximate number of pages with chemical information that you search in 
		CWM Global Search, when searching for suppliers.

		| I want to search for chemical structures on 
		SharePoint in unstructured sources. | Chrawler
		(http://www.scilligence.com) 
		extracts chemical structures from nearly any sort of document, locally 
		or on the network. Requirement is that the structures contain the 
		connection table as meta data. | 
		
		 28 
		
		different file formats can be read by read by Chrawler.
