Ligand- and Structure-Based Drug Design and Optimization using KNIME.

In recent years there has been a paradigm shift in how data is being used to progress early drug discovery campaigns from hit identification to candidate selection. Significant developments in data mining methods and the accessibility of tools for research scientists have been instrumental in reducing drug discovery timelines and in increasing the likelihood of a chemical entity achieving drug development milestones. KNIME, the Konstanz Information Miner, is a leading open source data analytics platform and has supported drug discovery endeavours for over a decade.
