GaudiMM: A modular optimization platform for molecular design

GaudiMM

GaudiMM, for Genetic Algorithms with Unrestricted Descriptors for Intuitive Molecular Modeling, helps to sketch new molecular designs that require complex interactions.

Features

Full multi-objective optimization

• Feel free to optimize H bonds, hydrophobic interactions, desolvation effects, distances between given sets of atoms, rotamers and more, without compromises.

Unprecedented customizability

• Every gene and objective is a separate module, so they can be called on demand one or more times. This flexible approach allows very different calculations with the same mindset: exploration and evaluation.

Developer friendly

• If the provided genes and objectives are not enough, you can always code your own ones. Check out the developer docs!

Documentation and support

Documentation source is available in docs/ subdirectory, and also compiled as HTML at this webpage.
