GUIDEMOL is a Python computer program based on the RDKit software to process molecular structures and calculate molecular descriptors with a graphical user interface using the tkinter package. It can calculate descriptors already implemented in RDKit as well as grid representations of 3D molecular structures using the…

We describe a new tool for the efficient management of computational chemistry. Digichem is a program that automates and simplifies nearly the entire computational pipeline, including large-scale batch submission of calculations, analysis and results parsing, the generation of 3D density plots and 2D graphs of…

Effective visualization of small molecules is paramount in conveying concepts and results in cheminformatics. Scalable vector graphics (SVG) are preferred for creating such visualizations, as SVGs can be easily altered in post-production and exported to other formats. A wide spectrum of software applications already…

Exploring electronic states in actinide compounds is a critical aspect of nuclear science. However, considering relativistic effects and electron correlation in theoretical calculations poses a complex challenge. To tackle this, we developed the CASPT2/RASPT2 program along with the DIRAC program, enabling calculations…

While virtual libraries of synthetically accessible compounds have exploded in size to many billions, our capacity to extract valuable drug leads from these vast databases remains limited by computational resources. To overcome this, we developed SLICE SMARTS and Logic In ChEmistry), a powerful new tool designed for…

The representation of complex biomolecular structures and interactions is a difficult challenge across life sciences. Researchers and students use unintuitive 2D representations to gain an intuitive understanding of 3D space and molecular interactions. Since this is cumbersome for complex structures, such as…

The recent SmartGraph platform facilitates the execution of complex drug-discovery workflows with ease in the network-pharmacology paradigm. However, at the time of its publication, we identified the need for the development of an Application Programming Interface (API) that could promote biomedical data integration…

Digital twins are virtual companions for the design, scale-up, and control of chemical processes. Equipping digital twins with mechanistic models of their mirrored unit operation expands their range of applicability compared to pure data-driven models. As constructing mechanistic models requires time, effort, and…

Here, we present MolPic, an open-source Python-based software that can be used to generate high-resolution, publication-quality molecular figures directly from compound names or SMILES strings. MolPic supports single-molecule rendering, batch processing, and automated multi-panel 2D figure generation, which are…

Genetic Algorithms are a powerful method to solve optimization problems with complex cost functions over vast search spaces that rely in particular on recombining parts of previous solutions. Crossover operators play a crucial role in this context. Here, we describe a large class of these operators designed for…

Molecular mechanics force fields require a chemical perception model to assign parameters to molecules. A recent advancement in force fields is the use of the SMARTS substructure query language as the perception model. Although it is straightforward to write SMARTS patterns to define new force field parameters, it is…

In this communication the author describes a software tool named "ChameleonSort". The software program, developed by the present author is useful in the sorting of biological sequence variants like those accumulating mutations while diverging from the common ancestors. Examples include viral protein variants, protein…

The discovery of novel molecules with desirable properties is a classic challenge in medicinal chemistry. With the recent advancements of machine learning, there has been a surge of de novo drug design tools. However, few resources exist that are both user-friendly as well as easily customisable. In this application…

Curried functions provide a systematic way of transforming multi-argument functions into nested singleargument functions. This transformation allows partial application and supports many central principles of functional programming. Their extension, called curried 𝑘-ary functions, naturally generalizes the familiar…
