This talk will give participants an introduction to small molecule structure data in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and how CSD-Discovery tools can be used to discover new molecules. It will provide an overview of a range of scientific applications within CSD-Core and CSD-Discovery that can be used in the drug discovery field, from knowledge driven conformer generation to the search and analysis of protein-ligand complexes.
