Validating AI protein structure prediction models using Free Energy Perturbation calculations in Flare™ FEP
Free Energy Perturbation (FEP) is a gold-standard method for computing binding free energies, yet its accuracy depends on the quality of the input complex structures. While a well-resolved protein-ligand complex is ideal, where not available, AI models can be used to predict them.
We showcase the application of Flare™ FEP as a reliable method to validate the accuracy of a protein-ligand structure prediction model.
New Cresset KNIME nodes

Create powerful drug design workflows seamlessly with the latest Cresset KNIME nodes available within our molecular design solutions.
