Major New Features
1. Fingerprint-Based Search
Introducing our new fingerprint-based search functionality:
- Group Searches: You can now select multiple molecules from your Cart and perform searches with them, not just individual molecules. This allows for more comprehensive and efficient querying. This feature enables researchers to identify patterns and relationships between multiple compounds simultaneously, improving the depth of your analysis.
2. BIOPTIC Copilot - Chem-Assist
Meet BIOPTIC Copilot, your new Chem-Assist:
- Molecule Safety Inquiries: Ask about the safety profiles of molecules directly within the platform. Whether you're concerned about toxicity, side effects, or regulatory compliance, BIOPTIC Copilot provides quick, reliable information.
- Comparative Analysis: Get help finding differences between molecules. This feature allows you to compare structural and functional aspects, making it easier to identify the most promising candidates for further development.
- Intelligent Assistance: Beyond safety and comparison, Chem-Assist can provide insights on synthetic pathways, potential interactions, and optimization strategies, acting as a virtual assistant in your research.
3. BIOPTIC Flows
A revolutionary new feature to streamline drug development pipelines:
- Text-Based Pipeline Creation: Create a development pipeline from a text-based query. Describe your desired process, and BIOPTIC Flows will generate a pipeline, saving time and ensuring consistency.
- Interactive Refinement: Use the integrated chat to fine-tune the pipeline to your preferences. This conversational interface allows for dynamic adjustments and immediate feedback.
- Seamless Integration: Add elements from other searches or start new searches directly within the pipeline workflow. This integration ensures that your entire research process is cohesive and interconnected.
- Manual Adjustments: Open a dedicated tab to manually add supported tools to your pipeline, providing flexibility and control over your workflow.
- Pipeline History: All your pipeline configurations are saved for future reference. You can revisit, review, and refine previous setups, ensuring that you build on your past work.
Enhanced Features
1. REOS Filter Improvements
Our REOS filter has been upgraded for better usability:
- Tag Drag-and-Drop: Specify Untriggered, Triggered, or Unspecified by simply dragging and dropping tags. This visual and intuitive approach makes it easier to manage and filter your data according to specific criteria.
2. Cart Integration for Searches
We’ve enhanced the Cart functionality:
- New Search Creation: Directly create new searches from the molecules selected in your Cart. This streamlines the workflow from selection to analysis, allowing for quicker iteration and exploration of results.
3. New Tanimoto Filter
Introducing a new filtering option:
- Tanimoto Filter: Use the Tanimoto coefficient to filter and compare molecules. This filter provides an additional layer of precision in your searches, enabling more accurate similarity assessments between compounds.
Continuous Improvement and Bug Fixes
- Stability and Performance: Various bugs have been fixed, and performance enhancements have been made to ensure a smoother user experience. Users will notice faster load times, more responsive interfaces, and fewer interruptions during their workflows.
- Ongoing Updates: We are committed to continually improving BIOPTIC. Stay tuned for more updates and new features in the future, as we strive to meet your evolving research needs.
4. New Plus Button in Tabs
We have introduced a new "plus" button (+) in the tabs, providing quick access to create new projects or searches:
- Easy Access: The new button is conveniently located in the tab bar, allowing you to start new projects or searches without navigating away from your current workflow.
- Streamlined Workflow: This feature simplifies the process of initiating new tasks, making it easier to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
We encourage you to explore these new features and improvements. As always, your feedback is invaluable to us as we continue to refine and enhance the BIOPTIC platform. Please let us know how the new features work for you and if there is anything we can improve.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in BIOPTIC for your scientific research needs.
