The success of the design and improvement of nanoscale biomolecules like proteins and small molecule drugs relies on a proper understanding of their three-dimensional structures. Nanome's virtual reality/mixed reality (VR/MR) platform provides an immersive and collaborative environment that offers a unique view into the nanoscale world. The platform enables faster and more effective ideation, improved communication of scientific concepts, and multiple tools for lead optimization of molecules. The latest 1.24 version of the Nanome platform integrates multi-user collaboration, mixed reality, enhanced avatars, and a flexible Python API for easy integration with various modeling techniques. We describe key elements of this state-of-the-art framework and how it can accelerate the pace of discovery through empowering industry-standard algorithms across domains of digital science.
