GUIDEMOL: A Python graphical user interface for molecular descriptors based on RDKit
1LAQV and REQUIMTE, Chemistry Department, NOVA School of Science and Technology, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2829-516, Caparica, Portugal.
Abstract:
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 electrostatic potential or voxels. The GUIDEMOL app provides easy access to RDKit tools for chemoinformatics users with no programming skills and can be adapted to calculate other descriptors or to trigger other procedures. A command line interface (CLI) is also provided for the calculation of grid representations. The source code is available at https://github.com/jairesdesousa/guidemol.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
