    Подписчиков: 0, рейтинг: 0

    Computational Resources for Drug Discovery (CRDD) is one of the important silico modules of Open Source for Drug Discovery (OSDD). The CRDD web portal provides computer resources related to drug discovery on a single platform. It provides computational resources for researchers in computer-aided drug design, a discussion forum, and resources to maintain Wikipedia related to drug discovery, predict inhibitors, and predict the ADME-Tox property of molecules One of the major objectives of CRDD is to promote open source software in the field of chemoinformatics and pharmacoinformatics.

    Features

    Under CRDD, all the resources related to computer-aided drug design have been collected and compiled. These resources are organized and presented on CRDD so users can get resources from a single source.

    • Target identification provides the resources important for searching drug targets with information on genome annotation, proteome annotation, potential targets, and protein structure
    • Virtual screening compiles the resources important for virtual screening as QSAR techniques, docking QSAR, chemoinformatics, and siRNA/miRNA
    • Drug design provides the resources important for designing drug inhibitors/molecules as lead optimization, pharmacoinformatics, ADMET, and clinical informatics

    Community contribution

    Under this category platform has been developed where the community may contribute in the process of drug discovery.

    • DrugPedia: A Wikipedia for Drug Discovery is a Wiki created for collecting and compiling information related to computer-aided drug design. It is developed under the umbrella of Open Source Drug Discovery (OSDD) project and covers a wide range of subjects around drugs like Bioinformatics, Cheminformatics, clinical informatics etc.
    • Indipedia: A Wikipedia for India is a Wiki for collecting and compiling drug information related to India. It is intended is to provide comprehensive information about India created for Indians by Indians. It is developed under the umbrella of Open Source Drug Discovery (OSDD) project.
    • The CRDD Forum was launched to discuss the challenge in developing computational resources for drug discovery.

    Indigenous development: software and web services

    Beside collecting and compiling resources, CRDD members develop new software and web services. All services developed are free for academic use. The following are a few major tools developed at CRDD.

    Development of databases

    • HMRBase: It is a manually curated database of Hormones and their Receptors. It is a compilation of sequence data after extensive manual literature search and from publicly available databases. Hombres can be searched on the basis of a variety of data types. Owing to the high impact of endocrine research in the biomedical sciences, the Hmrbase could become a leading data portal for researchers. The salient features of Hombres are hormone-receptor pair-related information, mapping of peptide stretches on the protein sequences of hormones and receptors, Pfam domain annotations, categorical browsing options, online data submission. This database integrated in drug media so public can contribute.
    • BIAdb: A Database for Benzylisoquinoline Alkaloids. The Benzylisoquinoline Alkaloid Database is an attempt to gather the scattered information related to the BIA's. Many BIA's show therapeutic properties and can be considered as potent drug candidates. This database will also serve researchers working in the field of synthetic biology, as developing medicinally important alkaloids using synthetic process are one of important challenges. This database integrated in drugpedia so public can contribute.
    • Antigen DB: This database contain more than 500 antigens collected from literature and other immunological resources. These antigens come from 44 important pathogenic species. In Antigen DB, a database entry contains information regarding the sequence, structure, origin, etc. of an antigen with additional information such as B and T-cell epitopes, MHC binding, function, gene-expression and post translational modifications, where available. AntigenDB also provides links to major internal and external databases.

It is a manually curated database where most of data has been collected from PubMed and PubMed Central literature databases.
    • TumorHope: TumorHope is a manually curated comprehensive database of experimentally characterized tumor homing peptides. These peptides recogninze tumor tissues and tumor associated micro environment, including tumor metastasis.
    • ccPDB: The ccPDB database is designed to provide service to scientific community working in the field of function or structure annotation of proteins. This database of datasets is based on Protein Data Bank (PDB), where all datasets were derived from PDB.
    • OSDDchem: OSDDChem chemical database is an open repository of information on synthesised, semi-synthesized, natural and virtually designed molecules from the OSDD community.
    • CancerDR: CancerDR is a database of 148 anticancer drugs and their effectiveness against around 1000 cancer cell lines. These are target based drugs, CancerDR maintain comprehensive information about these drugs their target gene/protein and cell lines.

    Software developed

    • MycoTB: In order to assist scientific community, we extended flexible system concept for building standalone software MycoTB for Windows Users. MycoTB is one of the computer program developed under OSDD/CRDD programme.
