Abstract excerpt
We implemented a fragment-based de novo design algorithm for a population-based optimization of molecular structures. The concept is grounded on an evolution strategy with mutation and crossover operators for structure breeding. Molecular building blocks were obtained from the pseudo-retrosynthesis of a collection of pharmacologically active compounds following the RECAP principle. The influence of mutation and...
