RDKit: Cheminformatics and Machine Learning Software
- Rational Discovery provides computational modeling, combinatorial - library design and custom software development services to the - pharmaceutical, biotech and chemical industries. We do a substantial - amount of internal research to develop new approaches for applying - machine-learning techniques to solve chemical problems. Because we're a - small organization and chemistry is a large and complex field, it is - essential that we be able to quickly and easily prototype and test new - algorithms. - -

For our internal software, we implement core data structures in C - and expose them to Python using Boost.Python. Algorithm development is - done in Python and then translated to C if required (often it's not). - This hybrid development approach not only greatly increases our - productivity, but it also allows "non-developers" (people without C - experience) to take part in method development. Learning C is a - daunting task, but "Python fits your brain." (Thanks to Bruce Eckel for - the quote.)

+ A collection of cheminformatics and machine-learning software + written in C++ and Python.
