Towards the Computational Prediction of Polymorphism The recent discovery of a new polymorph of piracetam allowed the
‘blind’ testing of a novel method of computational crystal structure
prediction for flexible molecules; the successful quantitative prediction
of the crystal structure of form IV of piracetam shows that such
calculations could be a valuable complement to solid form screening
and the associated due diligence process. By Professor Sarah (Sally) Price at University College London (February 2006)
