Under the terms of the collaboration, Schrodinger will identify drug discovery targets for which there are currently no crystal structures. Viva Biotech will use x-ray crystallography design to structurally enable the targets by generating high-resolution structures with bound ligands.

Schrodinger will then use its computational platform to explore chemical space with the goal of designing novel therapeutic candidates for the targets.
