Combining AI and automation towards the prediction of crystal structure landscapes

May 27, 2021

Discovery of crystal structures is often a challenging and time consuming process. The combination of crystal structure prediction (CSP) with high-throughput (HT) crystallization screening methods greatly accelerates the identification and selection of structures with desirable physical properties. While CSP provides valuable insights into a molecule's structural preferences, HT rapidly evaluates hundreds of different crystallisation conditions. Such protocols have for example been used to search for polymorphs of interest. Prof. Andrew Cooper from the Materials Innovation Factory and University of Liverpool describes the state-of-the-art derived from their most recent works on the subject.

Prof. Andrew Cooper is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool, a Fellow of the Royal Society and was awarded the Hughes Medal in 2019.

Experimental and kinetic study of the microwave-assisted catalytic conversion of glucose

Microwave technology offers rapid, selective, and efficient heating, making it a valuable tool for process intensification. In this context, this study employed microwave energy for rapid reaction optimization and reliable kinetic analysis for the catalytic conversion of glucose. Dehydration (DeH) and retro-aldol condensation (RAC) are two main routes for the catalytic conversion of glucose into valuable platform chemicals such as levulinic acid, methyl lactate, and other byproducts.

Toward fully autonomous closed-loop molecular discovery – A case study on JAK targets

Bridging AI and self-driving laboratories, we introduce the first fully-automated, closed-loop molecular discovery cycle, exemplified by the identification of novel JAK inhibitors. With minimal human intervention, we combined AI-driven molecular design and retrosynthesis with IBM’s synthesis automation system RoboRXN and Arctoris’ Ulysses platform for automated in-vitro screening.
