Last year, @csteinbeck's team published "Scaffold Generator: a Java library implementing molecular scaffold functionalities in the [... CDK]" doi.org/10.1186/s13321-022-0…
Over the past year we have modularized it and the SNAPSHOT is now usable in Maven: s01.oss.sonatype.org/content…
Just finished developing JMolecularEnergy the first open source library for calculating MMFF94 force field in java! you can load molecules using @the_cdk and calculate their potential energy or minimize it.Check it out here
ramimanaf.github.io/JMolecul…#chemoinformatics#java#rdkit
the next time you visit github.com/cdk/cdk you may see the a popup dialog. we changed the name of the default branch of 'main':
ALT Screenshot of the link pages with a dialog telling: "The default branch has been renamed! master is now named main If you have a local clone, you can update it by running the following commands." and then showing the git commands to run
just fyi, there is a lot happening right now. There are people working on CDK in AMBIT, CDK in KNIME, and integration of new functionality into the CDK.
we just had our 20 year anniversary (a bit delayed). At the start people wondered seriously about the sustainability. After two decades we can safely say, yes, #openscience also works in #cheminformaticsgithub.com/cdk/cdk/graphs/co…
ALT Twenty years, more than 100 contributors, and alive and kicking.
ALT "I will tag these ones as "won't fix" or will comment since it exactly replicates the original paper. So SonarCloud (and IntelliJ warns on it also) found a bug in a 37 year old paper :-)"
Do people use chemfp's @the_cdk support? It's part of the standard chemfp installation. No license key needed.
Here's a taste of chemfp 4.0's new cross-cheminf. toolkit API to read molecules and generate fingerprints. Or, replace "cdk" with "rdkit", "openbabel", or "openeye".
ALT An example of using chemfp 4.0's new API for working with cheminformatics toolkits. It shows creating a 128-bit "Daylight" fingerprint for phenol, reading a small SMILES file to create an arena of CDK-Daylight fingerprints, and searching for the 3 nearest fingerprints for a query; displaying the results in Pandas.
