SPROUT

• Covalent Ligand Binding

Sprout's HIPPO module is uniquely able to recognize specific catalytic patterns and suggest covalent interaction sites accordingly. 

• Special Ligand Interaction Surface 

More sophisticated than double VDW, Sprout generates a VDW + probe radius varied by interaction type (lipo, polar, H-bond, covalent) as presented at the York MGMS conference in 1995. 

• Controllability 

Powerfully, users are able to run components automatically or maintain control to guide and modify each decision of every module for maximum versatility.Customers have chosen SPROUT over other de novo programs for much greater control of the search.

• Excellent Interaction Visualization 

Sprout's surface representations are colour coded according to interaction type and not by atom type. Target site interaction regions can be visualized with tolerances. Clients often use SPROUT for visualization even during tasks that are not de novo design related (e.g. lead optimisation), because it visualizes the receptor-ligand interactions better than any other tool available.

• Search Space Continuum 

As opposed to the discrete sampling of interaction points found in other tools, the interaction regions are represented and the space is searched continously.

• Systematic, Exhaustive Search 

Guarantees that all possible solutions will be found within the limits defined by the constraints and parameters. In contrast, other de novo packages are limited by random number generators and linker fragment DBs. 

• Specific Library for Peptide Generation 

Specific library to quickly generate peptides only. The use of this library is optional, i.e. the program can be still used with the standard library to generate a wide variety of small molecule drug candidates.
