HPSee is your platform for efficient virtual screening workflow execution. It enables the effortless handling of large compound collections in computational drug discovery scenarios, such as docking on a target structure of interest.
After setting up their campaign in BioSolveIT applications with ease, users smoothly initiate the calculations on a hardware running HPSee that utilizes the available resources for fast processing. Once the calculations are finished, users can conveniently access the results for further evaluation. No complicated preparation of libraries and data required!
The clean administrative dashboard comes with an intuitive management interface. While operating the platform, admins can effortlessly oversee compound libraries and Chemical Spaces, as well as supervise user permissions.

The perks of HPSee make it an attractive and sustainable option for both academic groups and industrial research teams:
No extensive preprocessing and splitting of libraries into smaller chunks required.
Removes the need of data juggling.
Can be set up on Windows and Linux operating systems.
Install on your hardware of choice: It can be even a laptop standing somewhere in your office next to you that will be responsible for the calculations!
Streamlines projects and makes large-scale computing accessible to the whole team.
Where Limits Vanish
Scalability is an important factor in state-of-the-art computational drug discovery.
Therefore, HPSee was made to seamlessly and flexibly adapt to your team's needs and tasks. Expand your capabilities to match the growing demands of your operations by sustainably scaling up and out with HPSee.
Parallel processing of submitted tasks makes the computations more efficient and provides users with results faster.
With HPSee the challenge of screening hundred thousands of compounds becomes as simple as handling only a couple hundred.
Housing Large-Scale Compound Databases
A remarkably convenient feature of HPSee is the compound collection management system. Here, admins can upload molecule libraries (*.sdf format) and Chemical Spaces (*.space format), which users can select for their tasks.
During the upload, libraries automatically receive supplementary details (number of listed molecules, upload date, creator's identity) and can be annotated with an additional description.
HPSee eliminates the necessity to transfer large volumes of data for individual projects. Coupled with BioSolveIT's drug discovery dashboard SeeSAR, virtual screening runs can be conveniently initiated by selecting the respective library within the GUI. Subsequently, calculations are executed remotely on HPSee, and upon completion, results can be easily downloaded for subsequent visual assessment.
Say goodbye to shuffling gigabytes or even terabytes of data around!
Taking Molecular Docking to the Next Level
Computational methods, particularly large-scale virtual screening, have established their significance within the early stages of small molecule drug discovery. Ensuring universal access to this method can therefore enhance project performance by expediting results and subsequent processing of individual tasks.
With HPSee virtual screening becomes accessible to everybody. Even computational beginners can effortlessly start their campaigns from SeeSAR's graphical interface without any complicated preadjustments.
Orchestrate Your Team
HPSee's admin dashboard is the background engine for the management of the team.
The admin(s) can add new team or group members as users to grant them access to HPSee's features, such as remote docking. Once added, users can submit their tasks for subsequent processing.
HPSee handles the tasks and users are notified once results are available. No additional monitoring required!
Updates
HPSee Version 2.1 — Electra
More security, more convenience: That's HPSee 2.1 'Electra.' In addition to several quality-of-life improvements, HPSee now supports dynamic library handling, password security integration, and data migration for existing libraries.
For older versions and an elaborate changelog please visit here.
Begin by downloading the latest version of SeeSAR 14.1. This software provides the main interface for Chemical Space Docking™ (C-S-D), where you’ll manage your compound screenings and interact with the docking tools.
The C-S-D Starter Pack includes essential resources, including two setup guides and the ROCK-1 Test Space—a sample chemical space for testing C-S-D.
Follow the HPSee Deployment Guide
Install HPSee 2.1 on your dedicated machine using the detailed steps in the HPSee Deployment Guide. This setup ensures HPSee is ready to handle the docking tasks as you use SeeSAR for screening.
Refer to the SeeSAR Beginner Guide
Install SeeSAR 14.1 on your primary workstation and follow the SeeSAR Beginner Guide to get familiar with its interface and workflows. This guide covers the basics of navigating SeeSAR, initiating docking runs, and working with the 3D visualization tools.

Enabling Streamlined Virtual Screening
As an environment to enable large-scale virtual screenings, HPSee was developed to orchestrate the calculations and handling of results.
Coupled with other BioSolveIT applications, HPSee efficiently handles large data sets and streamlines the process in a sophisticated manner.
Docking — Virtual Screening
HPSee supports large-scale, structure-based virtual screening campaigns.
Molecule libraries can be uploaded to HPSee and then selected in SeeSAR's remote Docking Mode. Once the run is initiated, HPSee performs the pose generation and scoring of the ligand-target complexes with HYDE.
In the last step, HPSee processes the results and makes them available for visual inspection in SeeSAR.
Chemical Space Docking™
HPSee was developed to facilitate Chemical Space Docking™ (C-S-D), a novel structure-based virtual screening method that screens ultra-vast Chemical Spaces for the most promising drug candidates.
Users can conveniently start their C-S-D workflow in SeeSAR's visual interface. HPSee then takes over the calculations and the preparation of the results.
The initial anchoring of synthons can be enhanced by using co-crystallized ligands or predicted binding poses from docking studies as templates for pose generation. This approach accelerates calculations while producing poses that are structurally aligned with the template molecule.
