Ligand Discovery & Design.

From small molecules and fragments to glycans, sugars, cyclic dipeptides, macrocycles and other specialised chemical matter, Vici.bio helps teams predict binding, compare poses, estimate affinity and explore deeper ligand-centric calculations.

Protein-ligand binding and structure modelling
Binding & Complex Modelling

Model ligands in full biomolecular context.

Predict protein-ligand complexes, inspect binding modes and support harder systems involving metals, cofactors, glycans and chemically diverse ligands where context is essential for realistic binding.

Ligand docking and pose comparison
Docking & Pose Ranking

Compare poses, contacts & ligand fit.

Evaluate ligand docking, compare binding poses, inspect pocket interactions, analyse shape complementarity and rank candidates with cleaner support for screening and lead selection.

Ligand affinity and interaction analysis
Affinity & Energy

Estimate binding strength with more depth.

Support affinity prediction, binding energy workflows, interaction scoring and comparative analysis across ligand series so teams can prioritise compounds with stronger evidence, not just better visuals.

Fragments, macrocycles and chemical diversity
Fragments, Macrocycles & Rare Chemotypes

Work beyond standard drug-like space.

Explore fragment hits, macrocycles, cyclic dipeptides, natural products and more unusual chemotypes that often matter in real discovery programs but are harder to evaluate well.

Glycans, sugars and specialised ligand classes
Glycans, Sugars & Specialised Ligands

Handle ligand classes that are often ignored.

Support glycans, sugars, carbohydrate ligands, lipid-like molecules and specialised chemical classes where flexibility, stereochemistry and binding context can change the whole interpretation.

Ligands in enzyme pockets and catalytic environments
Enzyme Pockets & Reactive Sites

Study ligands where chemistry drives function.

Analyse active-site binding, compare substrate-like ligands, inspect catalytic pockets and support workflows where ligand placement, reactivity and local environment all influence compound behaviour.

Ligand dynamics, induced fit and flexible binding
Dynamics, Flexibility & Induced Fit

Go beyond static poses when ligands move.

Explore molecular dynamics, conformational flexibility, induced fit and pocket motion for ligands that cannot be understood from one frozen pose alone, especially in flexible or solvent-exposed systems.

Explore ligand models, docking tools & workflows on Vici.bio.

From docking and pose ranking to binding energy, glycan-aware modelling, fragment analysis and molecular dynamics, build ligand workflows designed for modern computational biology.
