Welcome to Central Nervous System

Central Nervous System

Central Nervous System (CNS) is a platform designed to efficiently generate and parameterize bioactive conformers of ligands binding to neuronal proteins.

The project is part of the Parameter generation and mechanistic studies of neuronal cascades using multi-scale molecular simulations of the Human Brain Project.

CNS conformers are generated using a powerful multilevel strategy that combines a low-level (LL) method for sampling the conformational minima and high-level (HL) ab-initio calculations for estimating their relative stability.

CNS database presents the results in a graphical user interface, displaying small molecule properties, analyses and generated 3D conformers. All data produced by the project is available to download.

CNS will contribute in the improvement of the understanding of neuronal signalling cascades by protein structure-based simulations, calculating thermodynamics and kinetics constants of the molecular processes.
