CADDSuite - A flexible and open workflow-enabled framework for computer-aided drug design

CADDSuite offers modular tools for most commonly used tasks in the field of computer-aided drug design, that all have the same interface and can easily be used to create even complex workflows.

There are algorithms and tools for data storage and retrieval, data preparation, chemical checks, QSAR, Docking, Rescoring and for the analysis of results.

CADDSuite has also been integrated into the workflow system Galaxy, in order to make submitting jobs (to a cluster/cloud/grid) or creating, modifying or starting workflows even easier for the user. In essence, a user can thus easily create drug-design pipelines directly from a web browser, without any need for software installations on his local computer.

See the bottom of this page for a list and short description of all contained tools. Furthermore, have a look at the tutorial for some examples showing how to use these tools.
