BioByte is located on West 4th Street between Harvard Avenue and Yale Avenue. This QSAR database company sells the proprietary Bio-Loom program, as well as other Internet database programs. QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) is a mathematical relationship between a biological activity of a molecular system and its geometric and chemical characteristics. These formulas may be used to find consistent relationships between biological activity and molecular properties. By doing so, these findings can be used to evaluate the activity of new compounds.
This computer program-generated evaluation process is used to help drug developers discover valuable QSAR data on cox-2 inhibitors such as Vioxx, Celebrex, and Arcoxia. Biobyte is located in the Claremont Village, adjacent to The Claremont Colleges, which includes Harvey Mudd College, one of the leading math, science and engineering colleges in the United States.
