TeachOpenCADD-KNIME: A Teaching Platform for Computer-Aided Drug Design Using KNIME Workflows

J Chem Inf Model. 2019 Oct 28;59(10):4083-4086. doi: 10.1021/acs.jcim.9b00662. Epub 2019 Oct 15.

Abstract

Open-source workflows have become more and more an integral part of computer-aided drug design (CADD) projects since they allow reproducible and shareable research that can be easily transferred to other projects. Setting up, understanding, and applying such workflows involves either coding or using workflow managers that offer a graphical user interface. We previously reported the TeachOpenCADD teaching platform that provides interactive Jupyter Notebooks (talktorials) on central CADD topics using open-source data and Python packages. Here we present the conversion of these talktorials to KNIME workflows that allow users to explore our teaching material without any line of code. TeachOpenCADD KNIME workflows are freely available on the KNIME Hub: https://hub.knime.com/volkamerlab/space/TeachOpenCADD .
