The Clock is Ticking: Using Residence Time for Compound Prioritization
Published on March 27, 2026
Dr. Rob Ziolek, Dr. Daniela Dolciami
Predicting ligand residence times with molecular simulations has traditionally been too computationally expensive for routine use in drug discovery. Yet, unlike traditional affinity-based approaches, residence time captures binding kinetics and provides complementary insight into compound behaviour. In this upcoming webinar, Dr. Rob Ziolek, Senior Quantum Research Engineer, and Dr. Daniela Dolciami, Lead Application Scientist, will demonstrate the relevance of residence time predictions for compound prioritisation.
Rob will begin by showing how Kvantify Koffee, our fast and accessible technology, enables residence time predictions in minutes. He will highlight its broad applicability across diverse protein–ligand systems, demonstrating how accurate results can be achieved at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods.
Daniela will then focus on the application of rapid residence time prediction in drug discovery settings. Through representative case studies, she will illustrate how combining kinetic and affinity metrics improves compound prioritisation, supporting residence time as a valuable addition to modern computational pipelines.
