SEURAT – Any Medicinal Chemistry Database Unlike many other tools in the drug discovery and development space SEURAT does not require you to switch to its view of drug discovery rather you only need to describe your view of drug discovery to SEURAT.   SEURAT is Highly Configurable   SEURAT users a meta-data mapping file to allow our customers to describe to SEURAT in plain text how each of the typical drug discovery and development concepts like Compound and its structure, Lot, Protocol, Assay and Property map into their existing database. No code changes are required.   In addition the mapping file allows customers to describe how they store their structure data (SMILES or BLOB) how they will structure search their compounds (internally using JChem Base) or through an external means and how to match their assay results to an indication of Kinase selectivity in the Human Kinome Tree Viewer amongst other things.   In fact SEURAT uses a version of this mapping file to communicate with it’s own native database schema.   For a complete discussion of the SEURAT meta-data mapping file, how it works and how to modify it for your needs please refer to the Configure SEURAT to access your database guide (you will need to contact us for a username and password). Works with your Existing Database   Seurat saves you time and money through its ability to work with your existing processes and databases Seurat can be configured to access your compound, assay and property data from your own database without code changes For once you dont have to rework your processes to fit a vendors database instead we fit with your database and we dont charge consulting fees to do it Seurat can interface with Oracle, PostgreSQL and MySQL databases   All that you need to do is change SEURAT’s meta-data configuration files and SEURAT will be retrieving, analyzing and visualizing the data as it exists in your database in just a matter of days.   Of course if you prefer to use the native Synaptic Science schema provided with SEURAT you can choose that option in which case SEURAT provides a very user friendly and highly configurable mechanism for the upload of your compound structure, lot, protocol, assay, property, notebook and scientist information from SD and CSV files.   In future releases you will be able to choose to both configure SEURAT to interface with your database (remember this requires no code changes) and use SEURAT’s native database schema to load and analyze partner or CRO data.
