bindtools

bindtools is a Python library for supramolecular chemistry designed for modeling, fitting, and analyzing binding equilibria. It provides numerical and analytical solvers for complex chemical systems, robust parameter optimization, and Bayesian parameter estimation.

Features

• Speciation Solvers:
  • Numerical: A Newton-Raphson solver (DoNR and getConcs) JIT-compiled with numba for fast operation.
  • Analytical: High-speed analytical solvers for common topologies (e.g., 1:1, 1:2, 2:1 fast exchange).
• Flexible Optimization:
  • Uses lmfit to manage model parameters (binding constants, physical observables).
  • Handles various experimental data including NMR integrations, chemical shifts (NMR deltaH/deltaF), and linear concentration-weighted observables (UV-vis / fluorescence).
• Bayesian Inference & Uncertainty Quantification:
  • Uses emcee for Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling.
  • Generates trace/chain convergence plots and corner plots using corner and arviz.
  • MCMC runs can be serialized and stored as HDF5 files for future analysis.

Installation

bindtools is available on PyPI. You can install it directly using pip:

pip install bindtools

Using Conda / Mamba (Recommended for Virtual Environments)

To avoid dependency conflicts, you can set up a dedicated environment with Conda/Mamba and install bindtools inside it:

# 1. Create and configure environment with base scientific dependencies
mamba create -n binding -c conda-forge \
  python jupyter tqdm ipython uncertainties lmfit scipy numpy emcee tqdm numba corner matplotlib numdifftools

# 2. Activate the environment
conda activate binding

# 3. Install bindtools via pip
pip install bindtools

Quick Start

1. Speciation (Solving Concentration Problems)

You can compute the equilibrium concentration of free species (components and complexes) given initial total concentrations, a stoichiometry matrix, and equilibrium constants ($K$ values).

import numpy as np
from bindtools import binding as bd

# Define total concentrations: 50 data points of Host (1e-3 M) and Guest (0 to 1e-2 M)
component_concs = np.zeros((50, 2))
component_concs[:, 0] = 1e-3
component_concs[:, 1] = np.linspace(0, 1e-2, 50)

# Stoichiometry / Equilibrium Matrix
# Row 0: Host balance, Row 1: Guest balance
# Columns represent: [Free Host, Free Guest, Host-Guest Complex (1:1)]
eq_mat = np.array([
    [1, 0, 1],  # [H]_tot = [H] + [HG]
    [0, 1, 1]   # [G]_tot = [G] + [HG]
])

# log10(K) values for each species. 
# Constants for free components are fixed at logK = 0.
# The complex (HG) has logK = 4 (K = 10,000 M^-1).
logK = np.array([0, 0, 4])

# Solve for concentrations at each point
results = []
for total_concs in component_concs:
    spec_concs = bd.getConcs(eq_mat, total_concs, logK)
    results.append(spec_concs)

results = np.array(results)
print("First point [H, G, HG]:", results[0])
