The Tripos Chemistry Extensions (TCE) package complements KNIME's existing capabilities by providing the Life Sciences industry with access to many important cheminformatics tools, including tools that are used to visualize and transform molecular structures, compute molecular properties, and search for functional groups. In addition, many separately licensable SYBYL tools are also made accessible via the TCE package. Tripos provides support not only for the TCE package and the Tripos technologies embedded within, but Tripos also provides support options for the KNIME platform itself.

The New Tripos International, a privately-held, leading provider of drug discovery informatics products and services, helps pharmaceutical companies and research facilities around the world successfully accelerate the identification and optimization of new compounds that have the potential to become drug products.

Schrödinger provides accurate, reliable, and high performance computational technology to solve real-world problems in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and materials science research.

Infocom Corporation offers a wide range of IT services and solutions for the life science market in Japan with more than 20 years of experience. INFOCOM's software solutions include Drug Design, ADMET, Data Mining, Statistical Analysis, Proteome, and Genome analysis. For use with the KNIME open source workflow platform, INFOCOM plans to release novel KNIME nodes incorporating INFOCOM's proprietary software and other third party software technologies. In February 2008, INFOCOM released its "JChem Extensions" which empowers researchers to work with chemical structure data using ChemAxon's software tools and the KNIME platform.

Treweren Consultants is a small specialist software company that focuses on innovative drug discovery capabilities mainly using pharmacophore technology which has been widely used in Internet distributed computing projects. Its THINK software has been integrated into KNIME enabling easy creation and use of workflows for de novo derivative generation, structure-based virtual screening (docking) and searching for novel actives using pharmacophores with volume contraints.

Molecular Discovery Ltd is run by Professor Gabriele Cruciani, and is widely recognized as the scientific leader in applying Molecular Interaction Fields and Chemometrics to pharmaceutical discovery. Molecular Interaction Fields from Molecular Discovery's GRID software were the first example of successfully applying rational design to drug discovery. Application of GRID Molecular Interaction Fields has been expanded to many areas of discovery, and Molecular Discovery is making several of these products available on the KNIME platform. These include automatic pKa modeling and prediction with MoKa, structure and ligand-based scaffold-hopping with SHOP, pharmacokinetic property optimization with VolSurf+, and also metabolic stability optimization and metabolite prediction with MetaSite. Molecular Discovery software is used by hundreds of scientists all over the world and is available for Windows and Linux systems. Please contact sales[at]moldiscovery[dot]com for more information.
