The journey of a cheminformatics scientist
Introduction I want to introduce you to ChemX, a Python-based program I developed during a hackathon in 2019. You can use it to build virtual chemical libraries using fragment analogues to the building blocks of the target molecule. Using the RDKit library, ChemX assembles chemically similar fragments to create a virtual chemical library. What ChemX…
In this tutorial, I will show how to generate bar chats with chemical structures using python and rdkit. I am adopting the code from Andres Berejnoi’s code repository. His code works with any image as long as you can represent the image as numpy array. For the code, you will need the following python libraries: pandas,…
In this tutorial, I will show how to generate reaction-based molecules with python code tutorials. I previously developed PKS Enumerator and SIME software tools which are used to design virtual libraries of macrocycles/macrolides. Both were based on a string- or template-based enumeration, and I will write a tutorial on how to do that in a…
This is part-4 from the five-part series tutorial of the blog post, Computing Molecular Descriptors – Intro, in the context of drug discovery. The goal of this post to explain the python code on computing 2D RDKit descriptors and exporting them as CSV files. First, install the required library packages using miniconda. The code for RDKit_2D class that…
