The Molecule Evolution Agent acts as an autonomous medicinal chemist. It takes a starting molecule (or uses a default like Aspirin) and iteratively modifies its structure to optimize binding for a specific protein target.
- Lead Optimization: When you have a hit molecule and want to improve its potency.
- De Novo Design: To explore chemical space around a target protein.
- Idea Generation: To get creative structural modifications suggested by an LLM.
- SMILES Manipulation: Reads and writes chemical structures in SMILES format.
- LLM Chemist: Uses an LLM to suggest chemically valid modifications (e.g., "Add a fluorine group to the ring").
- Mock Scoring: (Currently) Uses a mock scoring function to simulate docking affinity.
- Input: Target Protein Name (e.g., "GPRC5D").
- Process:
- Start with a seed molecule.
- Loop for N generations.
- Ask LLM for a modification.
- Score the new molecule.
- Keep the best candidate.
- Output: Top candidate SMILES and the evolution history.
User: "Design a better binder for GPRC5D."
