Virtual Work01:20

Virtual Work

1.3K
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

Chemistry of the Cell

47.4K
The cell is chemically composed of water, organic molecules and inorganic ions.
Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...

Chemistry of Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are an essential part of the diet in humans and animals. Grains, fruits, and vegetables are natural sources of carbohydrates that provide energy to the body, particularly through glucose, a simple sugar that is a component of starch and an ingredient in many staple foods. The stoichiometric formula (CH2O)n, where n is the number of carbons in the molecule represents carbohydrates. In other words, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:2:1 in carbohydrate molecules. This...

What is Organic Chemistry?

89.4K
Organic chemistry is the study of compounds of carbon called organic compounds. Organic compounds either originate from living organisms or are synthesized by chemists. A defining trait of these compounds is the presence of carbon as the principal element, which is bonded to other carbon atoms and other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. The existence of a wide array of organic molecules is a consequence of carbon atoms’ ability to form up to four strong bonds to...

Area of Science:

  • Medicinal Chemistry
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Virtual assistants are common in technology but underexplored in scientific domains.
  • Existing user interfaces in medicinal chemistry may not optimally deliver time-sensitive information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of creating an effective virtual assistant for medicinal chemistry.
  • To deliver critical information to users at the opportune moment.

Main Methods:

  • Introduction of Kernel, an early-stage virtual assistant prototype at Lilly.
  • Implementation of specific scenarios demonstrating the virtual assistant's capabilities.
  • Development of automated biochemical assay summary emails and compound design idea notifications.

Main Results:

  • A biochemical assay summary email system delivers results and analysis within an hour of new data generation.
  • Automated emails provide new compound design ideas to researchers shortly after initial testing.
  • The first fully automated Design-Make-Test-Analyze cycle in medicinal chemistry was described.

Conclusions:

  • The Kernel virtual assistant shows significant potential to enhance computational results delivery and consumption in medicinal chemistry.
  • This approach could revolutionize how data and analysis are integrated into drug discovery workflows.
