Engage video
The Engage video 'Organic
Crystal Research : Engage e-Infrastructure Case Study' has been released,
giving a very broad overview of the project. If you are new to Crystal
Structure Prediction, or the CPOSS project, you might be interested in
viewing it. We would like to thank OMII-UK and Engage for commisioning
this video.
General articles
An article appeared in Chemistry World in the February 2011 issue, featuring the work on progesterone's disappearing polymorphs.
The success of work on the project
in predicting piracetam IV was featured on the nature/news
website, Sept 2005.
An article
appearing in the April 2007 issue of Chemistry
World entitled "The shape shifters", by Susan Aldridge,
mentions the projects aims and success with piracetam.
An article
appeared in the Jan 2007 issue of Chemical
and Engineering News entitled "Aspirin's Dose Of Structural Insight",
by Ivan Amato, going over the recent developments in aspirin's polymorphism,
emphasising the role of the predictions and quoting Sally.
An article in Science
News, on 21
Aug 2004, entitled "Tricky Business: The crystal form of a drug
can be the secret to its success", by Alexandra Goho, gives much
background to the area of polymorphism, quoting Sally on the potential
role of the project.
The Computational methodology
We wrote an
article, Feb 2006, outlining expectations for Innovations
in Pharmaceutical Technology.
An article (see p22) appeared in the eScience
Centre annual review 2006-2007, which mentioned the use CPOSS makes
of the STFC facilities.
The cposs project, was mentioned in the the Times Higher Education Supplement,
20 October 2006, as part of the success of e-Science.
An article
on the Oracle Europe
National Grid Service website, describing Grid computing and storage,
mentions the project's database.
The project
is mentioned on the Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute (OMII) website
as an application of eScience
The project was mentioned in Highlights from the UK e-Science Programme.
An article
in Frontiers 2004 (the publication of the Computational
Science and Engineering Department, Daresbury and Rutherford Appleton
Laboratories) on"Dynamics in Crystals of Rigid Organic molecules.
An
article (pp4-5) in HPCx
News, Spring 2005, described "Kinetic insights into polymorphism
in pharmaceutical (solid state) chemistry", provided by our Molecular
Dynamics simulations.
The project's work on 5-fluorouracil,
and the dependance of polymorphic outcome on a very small amount of water,
was mentioned on the International Science
Grid website, Aug 2007.
On the UCL News webpages the
project was featured
just before the Open Day, and again when a
new polymorph was successfully predicted "blind".
The launch celebration was held in 2003.
