Featured article: TeachOpenCADD: a teaching platform for computer-aided drug design using open source packages and data

Owing to the increase in freely available software and data for cheminformatics and structural bioinformatics, research for computer-aided drug design (CADD) is more and more built on modular, reproducible, and easy-to-share pipelines. While documentation for such tools is available, there are only a few freely accessible examples that teach the underlying concepts focused on CADD, especially addressing users new to the field. In this article, Sydow et al. present TeachOpenCADD, a teaching platform developed by students for students, using open source compound and protein data as well as basic and CADD-related Python packages. We provide interactive Jupyter notebooks for central CADD topics, integrating theoretical background and practical code.

Aims and Scope

Journal of Cheminformatics is an open-access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research in all aspects of cheminformatics and molecular modelling.

Read the full scope here.

New Thematic Series: Programming Languages for Chemical Information

Cheminformatics methods and analyses employ software written in different programming languages, with each one offering features that make it more or less suitable for a given task. While there is much research on programming languages, we believe it would be useful for practitioners to report on how their preferred language has benefited them in practice.

Benefit from our free funding service

We offer a free open access support service to make it easier for you to discover and apply for article-processing charge (APC) funding.
