Virtual Proteins Drug Design Library

Virtual Proteins MicroLabs will create a uniform platform for the exchange of information relevant to the drug discovery process. All researchers using Virtual Proteins MicroLabs will be able to easily exchange information and use information made available by others to simplify their own research.

When the Virtual Proteins Basic and Extreme MicroLabs will be used by researchers, the discovery of new protein models and consequently the amount of information about the characteristics of different proteins will strongly increase. The larger the amount of available information about proteins is, the easier it will be to find appropriate solutions to many of the problems of the drug discovery process. Naturally, not all discoveries will be made public. Some may be ‘company secrets’, others may be made available only against payment and some may be made available at no cost. The Virtual Proteins Drug Design Library will be a library tool, which contains all publicly available information about proteins, which is relevant for the drug design process. The library will also contain known solutions to past medicine development efforts. In addition to collecting all relevant information made available by third parties, Virtual Proteins will set up its own Library research division which will do protein research in order to augment the information to be made available in the Virtual Proteins Drug Design Library. The Virtual Proteins Drug Design Library will be accessible via Virtual Proteins’ website. Customers will pay a yearly subscription fee in order to have access to all free information contained in the Drug Design Library. Information, which is not free, can be downloaded after payment of the applicable fee. These fees may differ depending on the “market value” of such information.

In effect, the Virtual Proteins Drug Design Library will be the worldwide marketplace for the exchange of all information generated by users of Virtual Proteins MicroLabs. It will be the ideal medium for researchers all over the world to make the results of their research available (either free of cost or against payment) to other researchers wherever they might be located. By making valuable information available only against payment, certain organizations (such as fundamental research institutions) could generate new sources of income, which in turn could further stimulate research.
