project that enables molecular design and computational screening of small molecules
GAINS — Genetic Algorithm for Identifying Novel Structures — is a project
that enables molecular design and computational screening of
small molecules. Built on the molecular functionality of RDKit, GAINS is employable across a spectrum of small-molecule design problems.
GAINS requires:
Note that scikit-learn 0.18.1 will raise a warning when loading in property models to the engine.
To take full advantage of rdkit you will also need Matplotlib >= 1.3.1.
You will first need to install rdkit:
conda create -n py36 python=3.6 anaconda# activate the new virtual environment, e.g. on OSX/Linuxsource activate py36# on Windows# activate py36conda install -c rdkit rdkit
GAINS can then be installed with:
pip install gains
GAINS is currently underdevelopment by researchers at the University of Washington. Our research page can be found here.
After installation, you can launch the test suite from outside the source directory (you will need to have the pytest package installed):
