SECSE: Systemic Evolutionary Chemical Space Explorer

Chemical space exploration is a major task of the hit-finding process during the pursuit of novel chemical entities. Compared with other screening technologies, computational de novo design has become a popular approach to overcome the limitation of current chemical libraries. Here, we reported a de novo design platform named systemic evolutionary chemical space explorer (SECSE). The platform was conceptually inspired by fragment-based drug design, that miniaturized a “lego-building” process within the pocket of a certain target. The key of virtual hits generation was then turned into a computational search problem. To enhance search and optimization, human intelligence and deep learning were integrated. SECSE has the potential in finding novel and diverse small molecules that are attractive starting points for further validation.

It seems that the file secse/growing/mutation/rules_demo.db is missing in the repo. How can I fix it?

Thanks!

All dockings do not work because there's no gridding process.

Hi, I was trying out the repo when I realised that neither the autodock nor glide is able to run because there was no gridding process, resulting in no grid files. >.<
