Bio-simulation software for drug development
3D modelling and in-silico workflows — structure prediction, molecular dynamics, docking, ADMET optimisation — replacing labour-intensive discovery steps; BIOVIA is used by more than 2,000 companies.
1 · What it gives
BIOVIA Discovery Studio is a 3D modelling and simulation application for life-science drug discovery built on the BIOVIA Pipeline Pilot system. Bio-simulation software replaces labour-intensive discovery steps with in-silico workflows: predict protein structures (AlphaFold/OpenFold), refine them with molecular dynamics, dock and optimise ADMET. The BIOVIA brand is mature and cloud-based, trusted by over 2,000 pharmaceutical, consumer-goods and materials companies.
2 · What it replaces 6
| D3 | Fermentation-produced vitamins (B2, B12, C routes) instead of multi-step chemical synthesis Replaces: Chemical vitamin synthesis — Reichstein process for vitamin C (six chemical steps + one fermentation), chemical B2 routes (abandoned), … | FOOD |
| D1 | Baking enzymes (fungal amylase, maltogenic amylase, xylanase, glucose oxidase, lipase) plus ascorbic acid instead of potassium bromate and azodicarbonamide as flour treatment agents Replaces: Potassium bromate (KBrO₃) and azodicarbonamide (ADA) used as oxidizing flour improvers/dough conditioners; part of chemical emulsifier use … | FOOD |
| D1 | Biochar as a composting and manure additive, a feed additive and a low-cost sorbent for water and soil treatment — instead of coal-based activated carbon, chemical odour and ammonia binders, and part of clay toxin binders Replaces: Coal- or fossil-based activated carbon for low-demanding sorption duties; chemical odour/ammonia control in litter and compost; part of the … | AGROCHEM |
| D1 | Biochar made by clean pyrolysis of crop, forestry and processing residues — used as a soil amendment and sold as durable carbon removal — instead of open burning, dumping or landfilling of those residues Replaces: Open burning of straw, husks, shells and prunings; dumping and landfilling of processing residues; traditional earth-kiln charcoal making … | AGROCHEM |
| D3 | Bioethanol as fuel and octane/oxygenate instead of MTBE, high-aromatic petrol and fossil petrol Replaces: MTBE and ETBE oxygenates (groundwater pollutant), aromatics (benzene, toluene) used for octane, lead anti-knock legacy; part of fossil … | FUEL |
| D2 | Bumblebee pollination instead of hormone sprays and manual vibration in greenhouse tomatoes Replaces: Fruit-setting hormone sprays (synthetic auxins such as 4-CPA / tomatotone) and labour-intensive manual flower vibration in greenhouse … | MACRO |
