SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires rowan, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the complexity and infrastructure challenges of running molecular modeling and medicinal chemistry workflows. It allows users to execute tasks like pKa prediction, docking, and molecular dynamics without the need for local HPC infrastructure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Molecular Modeling & Simulation: Provides Python API access to perform a wide range of molecular modeling tasks, including pKa and macropKa prediction, conformer searches, docking, protein-ligand cofolding, and more.
  • Cloud-Native Platform: Eliminates the need for local HPC or GPU infrastructure, offering scalable computation and result management.
  • API Key Authentication: Ensures that only authorized users can access the platform, with usage tracked via credits.

Quick Start

Install Rowan with 'uv pip install rowan-python' and run a pKa prediction with 'rowan.api_key = "your_api_key_here"'. Submit a pKa workflow using 'rowan.submit_pka_workflow(smiles="CC(=O)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O", name="aspirin")'.
