Similarity screening with RDKit #RDKit #SimilarityScreener #memo #cheminformatics
Similarity based screening is one of the common way to explore SAR rapidly. For example if you got hit compound but lack of human resources for making analogue compounds, catalogue SAR is useful way to expand SAR. Of course 'SIMILARITY' is really difficut term in cheminfomratics. There are lots of metrics for measuring compound similarity. I will not describe the topic in this post 🙂

This week's #RDKit blog post continues my look at the LOBSTER data set. This one got a bit derailed because I found a bug while working on it.

I tried to install Openforld3 to my personal computer with pixi. It succeeded. I canceld the process because size of parameters were too big. So I will try again on HPC env tomorrow.

This week's #RDKit blog post looks at LOBSTER, a nice molecular superposition data set that came out last year. Now that everything's loaded into a database using lwreg, I can start playing with the data in future posts.

Install roshambo2 to pixi env #memo #cheminformatics #RDKit

Recently I'm using pixi for environment managment. Because it works very fast and can handle not only conda but also pypi in local .pixi env. Today, I tried to install roshambo2 to pixi env. The original article is published from JCIM and…

I know some people have had problems accessing the discord servers we use for the UGMs, so I'm trying an experiment with setting up a Zulip server for the #RDKit.
If this works well, we can leave it up as an informal chat/discussion point for the community.

I could have a fruitful discussion about AI driven drug discovery last week.
And found that main issue for promoting AI driven drug discovery is not changed over 20 years :P
It is a nightmare...

My background was organic chemistry but now I'm working as cheminformatitian. So I have lots of experiences of cheminformatics and medicinal chemistry but not many experiences of molecular simulation. But I'm interested in the simulation field and openmm and openff are one of my favorite packages to learn MD. OpenMM and OpenFF are developed attractively and Jeff shared useful notebook at RDKit UGM 2024 and 2025.

Build environment from github repository with pixi #cheminformatics #memo #pixi
I could have really fruitful discussions last week at CBI2025 annual meeting. Really appreciate all participants and presenters. I realized that I love open science and I would like to contribute it 🙂 I wrote new package for library management called pixi. In the previous post, I introduced pixi for making new environment. There are lots of github repositories are available and lots of codes are installed by pip, conda command.

Check code availablity on several OS is really hard work. I respect all developers....
It's a really tough work for me.

This week I updated an older #RDKit blog post to show how to use the RDKit in your own C++ projects on Windows. That post now covers Linux, the Mac, and Windows.
