We’ve reached a million!
We’ve finally made it! The addition of the one millionth structure to the Cambridge Structural Database, and what an incredible achievement for the whole community. The CSD is used in almost every chemistry department in the world - pharmaceutical companies depend on it to drive drug discovery projects. Materials scientists design ever more complex 3D network structures. Information from the database underpins all molecular mechanics forcefields and interaction scoring functions allow putative drug molecules to be docked to their protein receptors.
We are very proud to have reached this milestone. Read on to find out about the millionth structure, some latest insights drawn from the data, how the community have contributed and more below…
