Jazzy a Python library to calculate a set of atomic/molecular descriptors
Just spotted a very interesting paper "Fast calculation of hydrogen-bond strengths and free energy of hydration of small molecules" DOI.
Jazzy is a Python library that allows you to calculate a set of atomic/molecular descriptors which include the Gibbs free energy of hydration (kJ/mol), its polar/apolar components, and the hydrogen-bond strength of donor and acceptor atoms using either SMILES or MOL/SDF inputs. Jazzy is easy to use, does not require expensive hardware, and produces accurate estimations within milliseconds to seconds for drug-like molecules. The library also exposes functionalities to depict molecules with atomistic hydrogen-bond strengths in two or three dimensions.
Code is on GitHub https://github.com/AstraZeneca/jazzy
And there is a really useful cookbook with examples. https://jazzy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cookbook.html.
UK-QSAR Spring 2023 meeting
The UK-QSAR Spring 2023 meeting will held on Thursday 20th April 2023 / 9:00 AM – 17:00 PM at the Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridgeshire, CB10 1SD, UK .
The meeting is organised jointly by EMBL-EBI and Sosei Heptares, and as always is free. The theme this time is “Learning from data” and for the occasion three of the most relevant databases for our fields will be introduced (PubChem, ChEMBL and the Cambridge Structural Database). The afternoon sessions will be focused on protein structure-based techniques (including use of AlphaFold, and ML for virtual screening) and reaction informatics (including applications of Enamine REAL, and machine learning).
Registration is now open. Please register using the following link: https://www.eventsforce.net/embl/93/register
