Icolos: A workflow manager for structure based post-processing of de novo generated small molecules

We present Icolos, a workflow manager written in Python as a tool for automating complex structure-based workflows. Icolos can be used as a standalone tool, for example in virtual screening campaigns, or can be used in conjunction with deep learning-based molecular generation facilitated for example by REINVENT, a previously published de novo design package. In this publication, we focus on the internal structure and general capabilities of Icolos, using docking experiments as an illustration.
