Profile
VeraChem LLC was founded in 2000 to advance the state of the art in computer-aided drug-discovery and molecular design by developing computational chemistry methods that are based on cutting edge basic science, but are also applicable in applied science research settings. Efficient high performance software implementations of these methods coupled with comprehensive user support are a central company strategy for product development. VeraChem’s offices are located in Germantown, MD, in the heart of the I-270 Technology Corridor.
Scientific Software and Algorithms
Current VeraChem software capabilities include protein-ligand and host-guest binding affinity prediction, fast calculation of accurate partial atomic charges for drug-like compounds, computation of energies and forces with all the commonly used empirical force fields, automatic generation of alternate resonance forms of drug-like compounds, conformational search with the powerful Tork algorithm, and automatic detection of topological and 3D molecular symmetries. VeraChem’s software packages are constructed from a modular code base. Numerically intensive algorithms are implemented with low-level programming languages and libraries to make full use of high-performance compute hardware, including parallel processing. Tools for molecule preparation and visualization tasks are implemented with high-level programming and scripting languages. All our software is available for licensing that includes comprehensive support from our highly experienced staff. Contact us for a quote.
