September 2020
ParaSurf20 released

ParaSurf20™ has now been released. In addition to algorithm and performance enhancements, it can now use EMPIRE20™ -e.h5 HDF5 output files as input in addition to VWF and SDF files. ParaSurf20™ can now also process heterogeneous lists of input files.

The ParaSurf20™ manual is available online.

 

September 2020
EMPIRE20 released

EMPIRE20™ has now been released. It includes the following new features:

  • Self-consistent reaction field implicit solvent simulations for ground states. These calculations allow fast convergence for proteins, which now no longer need explicit water molecules.
  • Transition-state optimizations using the NS01A algorithm.
  • Localized molecular orbitals.
  • Atomic multipole analysis.
  • Excited states for open-shell molecules with an improved UNO-CI formalism.
  • The initial guess can now be read from and EMPIRE _e.h5 HDF5 output file.

The EMPIRE20™ manual is available online.


 

May 2020
ParaSurf19 update released

ParaSurf19_A2™, an update of ParaSurf™, has been released that allows it to use EMPIRE™ parameter file

 

November 2019
ParaSurf19 released

The new version of ParaSurf™, ParaSurf19™ features performance enhancements and additional output to allow CImatch™ to be used with ParaSurf fragments.

 

September 2019
EMPIRE19 released

The newest version of EMPIRE™, EMPIRE19™, was released on September 1st and has already been installed for selected customers.
EMPIRE19™ includes both extensions of the functionality and performance enhancements compared to its predecessor:

  • Improved performance: Among other performance enhancements, the calculation of gradients has been speeded up significantly. This improvement speeds up geometry optimizations and numerical calculations of the normal vibrations, especially for periodic systems, where the improvement is largest.
  • Normal vibrations: EMPIRE19™ can now calculate normal vibrations (frequencies and eigenvectors) using a finite-difference numerical approach.
  • New Hamiltonians: The following new Hamiltonians have been implemented
    • PM6 – Stewart’s most popular Hamiltonian
    • RM1 – an improved parameterization of AM1
    • hpCADD – a dedicated Hamiltonian for calculating properties such as the molecular electrostatic potential. hpCADD is only suitable for single-point calculations
    • MNDO-F – MNDO extended with the new self-consistent, multi-center, anisotropic “Feynman” dispersion correction
  • Excited states: EMPIRE19™ includes configuration-interaction (CI) calculations for excited states and band gaps of non-periodic systems. Both standard CI and UNO-CI are available. CI calculations for periodic systems are being implemented.

 

September 2019
New program CImatch

CImatch™ is a parallel, genetic algorithm-based program to overlay molecules based purely on their standard isodensity surfaces (calculated by ParaSurf™). It can perform the overlay using the surface shape alone or combinations of the shape, molecular electrostatic potential and local ionization energy, electron affinity and polarizability. CImatch™ overlays are independent of the 2D scaffold of the molecules and use only surface information. CImatch™ requires both EMPIRE™ and ParaSurf™.

 

September 2019
Cepos Suite

Cepos Insilico’s major programs (EMPIRE™, ParaSurf™, EH5cube™ and CImatch™) are now available as a complete suite at a competitive price. The Cepos Suite allows, for instance, ParaSurf™ and CImatch™ to be used in combination with EMPIRE™, or cube files to be generated from EMPIRE™ HDF5 output files for visualization or analysis.

 

31 January 2018
Cepos InSilico group restructured

The Cepos Group has reacted to Brexit by concentrating its activities in Obermichelbach, Germany. All activities previously carried out by Cepos InSilico GmbH in the UK have now been moved to Cepos InSilico GmbH.

21st August 2012, 6 pm - 8 pm
ACS Workshop: Next Generation Molecular Modeling & QSAR
ACS meeting, Philadelphia, PA. USA
Room 104A, Pennsylvania Convention Center

Presenters: Prof. Tim Clark & Prof. Jürgen Brickmann

Background and introduction:
Professor Tim Clark will start by providing an introduction to two next-generation molecular modeling tools. "SAR-caddle" is a web-based tool for building & applying robust QSAR/QSPR models with applicability domain analysis & 3D visualization, and "caddle" is a web-based molecular modeling system with advanced flexible workflows and protocols, and interactive 3D-visualization. These new tools require only a suitable browser on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or smart phone (no local installation).

Hand-on training session:
This will be followed by a hands-on training session with SAR-caddle & caddle, so please bring your own laptop or tablet. No software installation is necessary as the tools are all web-based.

Registration: The workshop is free but seats are limited so please send your registration to Workshop@CACheResearch.com, and include name, affiliation, and location.
