At the CCDC we value providing you the support you need with our software and the new features we release. On this page you can find our latest videos, from software training short how-to video tutorials to introduce you to the practical aspects of new functionalities, to presentations and instructions of our services and resources, to talks and more on our activities.
How to use CSD-Discovery tools in ligand-based virtual screening
ConQuest tutorial on how to search the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) for metal organic frameworks (MOFs).
In this short educational video, Rosie Lester introduces us to symmetry operations and symmetry elements and point groups. The focus of the video is on small organic molecules for an easy visualisation.
A step-by-step guide to download the full licence CSD software for structural chemistry visualization and analysis. This includes how to download and install Mercury, GOLD, CSD data, and all the other applications.
In this video Rosie Lester, PhD student in the Centre for Medical Materials at the University of Cambridge, explores some of these fictional elements and tries to find their match on the periodic table.
Explore the elements Mendeleev theorised on the periodic table, discover what they are called today, and illustrate some of their properties with crystal structures.
How to prepare protein or small molecule structures, show protein structures in ribbon, and analyse binding sites in protein ligand structures.
In this video, Vera Prytkova, Research and Application Scientist at the CCDC, gives an introduction to docking using GOLD.
