New 3D-QSAR Package: Galaxy!



                    Program Galaxy (TM)
 The program Galaxy (TM) is a fully menu driven, state of the
 art 3D-QSAR program  and  has  several  features  which  are
 indispensable  tools  in  the  discovery  process  of  novel
 molecules,  even  for  cases  where  the  three  dimensional
 structure   of   the  target  is  determined.   The  3D-QSAR
 methodology, which was invented  by  Dr.   Ghose,  helps  to
 design  potent  inhibitors  by taking into account the three
 dimensional    structural    information    and     relevant
 physicochemical  properties  of  the inhibitors.  Dr.  Ghose
 has several successes in  designing  potent  inhibitors  by
 using  this  method.   In  addition, the program has a large
 number of facilities to study structural and physicochemical
 properties of  general  organic  molecules.   The  following
 descriptions  summarize  the  capabilities  of  the  program
 Galaxy (TM).
 1.  2D and 3D molecule builder.
 2.    Physicochemical   property   estimation   of   organic
 molecules.
 3.   An   elaborate   Molecular   Mechanics   with   various
 conformational analysis techniques.
 4.  3D-Database containing 45,000 organic molecules.   Users
 can make their own data base.
 5.  Statistical Fitting Tools.
 6.  Hanch type QSAR.
 7.  Pharmacophore Modeling.
 8.  State of the art 3D-QSAR method.  It has both  automated
 and  manual  superposition  techniques.   It  can  take into
 account  the  hydrophobic,  dispersive   and   electrostatic
 interactions very reliably using its atom based properties.
 9.    Protein   Cavity-Quantitative    Structure    Activity
 Relationships.
 10.  Molecular Orbital Interface.
 11.   Open  interfacing  for  easy  integration   of   other
 methods.
