A recent paper on ChemRxiv https://chemrxiv.org/doi/10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-9c1v6 describes ANNalog a transformer-based sequence-to-sequence generative model trained on pairs of molecules extracted from the same bioactivity assay in
I’ve written several posts on the various options for clustering molecules https://macinchem.org/?s=clustering and a recent post from NVIDIA described GPU-Accelerated Clustering with nvMolKit that uses
Mole2D is a lightweight molecule drawing package written in Python and PyQt6. All code is on GitHub https://github.com/sfmlab/mole2d and it requires RDKit and PyQt6.. PubChem
Sometimes target identification studies can just turn up a list of Uniprot IDs, whilst there are a number of places you can go to find
In 2020 as a result of lockdown I was asked to help create a course for MRes students as an introduction to computer-aided drug design.
t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) is a statistical method for visualizing high-dimensional data by giving each datapoint a location in a two or three-dimensional map. Whilst there are
An interesting web app that fetches ChEMBL bioactivity data for a target (via UniProt ID), computes molecular descriptors, and trains a simple predictive model (regression, with
Just a reminder the next Cambridge Cheminformatics meeting is on 18 February 2026, 4-5.30pm UK time, Hybrid (at the CCDC on Union Road, Cambridge/via Zoom)
Another addition to the superb MayaChemTools OpenFECalculateRelativeBindingFreeEnergySepTop.py to calculate Relative Binding Free Energy using a Separated Topologies (SepTop) approach. The script relies on the availability of OpenFE
