Neurosnap SDK for bioinformatics, structural biology, and cheminformatics workflows.

Neurosnap SDK

Neurosnap SDK is a collection of utilities for bioinformatics, structural biology, and cheminformatics workflows, with strong support for amino acid sequences and molecular structures.

This a package developed by Keaun Amani at neurosnap.ai. You are welcome to use this code and contribute as you see fit. We are currently working on expanding this package as well to add support for more common functions.

TODO:

• Consolidate some of the code that's shared and used across EvoEF2 and PDB2PQR.
• Also split those functions to have separate calls for the following:
  • add_hydrogens(structure, ...)
  • optimize_hydrogens(structure, ...)
  • assign_protonation_states(structure, ...)
  • assign_pqr(structure, ...)
