Growthfactor Int'l

Company Description

Growthfactor int'l is a hong kong-based company that aspires to revolutionize the way tcm is studied. It has a comprehensive 3d database of over 9000 traditional Chinese medicine molecules. This allows in silico study of tcm in a more convenient way. Also, the company has designed a unique docking platform for the in silico study of drug-target interaction.
Raymond chau, ph. D. Is the chief scientist of km biotech. He obtained a ph. D. From southGrowthfactor Int'lstern medical school of the university of texas health science center at dallas, was a fogarty visiting associate scientist at national cancer institute, nih, and is a faculty member of the university of hong kong.

Database features
Tcm 3d database online offers a comprehensive database of 3d
Molecules found in traditional Chinese medicine. The database currently contains more than 3000 herbs with over 9000 corresponding 3d molecules in. Pdb format. The database can be search in terms of the herb name or the chemical nomenclature of a particular molecule. In other words, it is fully searchable. Each and every molecule found in this database can be potentially used for in silico experiment such as docking, as long as the input format required is in. Pdb. In addition to the 3d information, it also contains substantial description of each individual molecule such as its chemical formula, source, chemical properties and others (example with glycyrrhizin) .

Docking service features performing docking can be a daunting experience to many, especially those who are novice user to the docking program. In view of this, we extend our service to offer docking assistance. User only needs to provide us with a receptor and the intended ligand in. Pdb format and we will do the rest. All the docking analysis are performed using windows 98, which includes software such as swisspdbviewer 3. 7, gramm 1. 03, matlab 5. 3, etc and programs written with c + + and perl. Results are generated in formats that are usable in windows os. Basically, with this service, it eliminates the hassle of fiddling with unknown docking software because we summarize and integrate all the generated information for the user.
