Computational Modelling Group

Povray

Povray is an open source program for ray tracing, a technique in computer graphics which allows to create a three dimensional image of a scene from a specification of its geometry. The technique is based on an accurate calculation of light paths, which takes into account the characteristic of the light sources, the propagating medium and the surfaces of the objects in the scene. Consequently, the result is often highly realistic: good ray-traced images can be confused with photographs.

The £10million Centre for Doctoral Training was launched in November 2013 and is jointly funded by EPSRC, the University of Southampton, and its partners.

The NGCM brings together world-class simulation modelling research activities from across the University of Southampton and hosts a 4-year doctoral training programme that is the first of its kind in the UK.

The application and critical assessment of protein-ligand binding affinities

Jonathan Essex (Investigator), Ioannis Haldoupis

A method that can accurately predict the binding affinity of small molecules to a protein target would be imperative to pharmaceutical development due to the time and resources that could be saved. A head-to-head comparison of such methodology, ranging from approximate methods to more rigorous methods, is performed in order to assess their accuracy and utility across a range of targets.
