A research of UCAM, cover of Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling

‘Bruselas’, the name of the web server developed by UCAM PhD student Antonio Jesús Banegas-Luna to discover new drugs more quickly and accurately, is the focus of the scientific journal.

Antonio Jesús Banegas-Luna, a PhD student at the Catholic University, together with researchers from the university’s BIO-HPC Group, Horacio Pérez-Sánchez and José Pedro Cerón-Carrasco, and Savíns Puertas-Martín, a PhD student at the University of Almería, feature on the second cover of the latest issue of the prestigious journal specialising in computational chemistry, Journal of Chemical Information and Modelling, which boasts a rigorous quality control system that publishes only around 10 per cent of the papers it receives.

The article describes the new web server called ‘Brussels’, which incorporates innovative improvements with a system based on much more precise and customised algorithms. As well as being completely free of charge, the web server incorporates a pre-filtering technique for chemical compound libraries that allows thousands of potential ligands to be processed in a much shorter time than with other similar tools.
