The CSD - a valuable tool in modern organic synthesis and drug discovery

We always love hearing feedback from users of our tools and services, especially when they share with us how they've used the CSD to advance their research. So it was great to hear from Prof. Alexander Dömling and Assis. Prof. Constantinos Neochoritis from the University of Crete, who used the CSD and CCDC tools, including ConQuest, Mogul, CSD-CrossMiner and IsoStar, in their recent research. Read their story below...

A Million Crystal Structures: the CSD Contribution in the Designing of Biologically-Active Molecules

Francesca Stanzione – Thu, 10 Oct 2019 12:35:00 GMT

Recently our colleague Pete Wood, in collaboration with Robin Taylor, authored an exhaustive review on how the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has proved to be an invaluable resource for the design and development of new drugs, as well as for the design of commercially relevant materials such as dyes and energetic materials. You can read the full review ‘A Million Crystal Structures: The Whole is Greater than the Sum of Its Parts’ here.
