MolFinder: an evolutionary algorithm for the global optimization of molecular properties and the extensive exploration of chemical space using SMILES

Abstract Here, we introduce a new molecule optimization method, MolFinder, based on an efficient global optimization algorithm, the conformational space annealing algorithm, and the SMILES representation. MolFinder finds diverse molecules with desired properties efficiently without any training and...
