Welcome to the ChemicalToolbox -- a webserver for processing, analysing and visualising chemical data, and performing molecular simulations. This server is a flavor of the European Galaxy instance, usegalaxy.eu.
- TOC {:toc}
Are you new to Galaxy, or returning after a long time, and looking for help to get started? Take a guided tour{:target="_blank"} through Galaxy's user interface.
A good place to start is our tutorials, which provide an introduction to the cheminformatics and molecular dynamics tools in Galaxy.
You can also check out the standard but customizable workflows available there.
Almost a hundred different tools for cheminformatics and molecular dynamics have been integrated into the ChemicalToolbox. A selection are displayed below.

To orchestrate tools and help users with their analyses, several workflows are available. They formally orchestrate tools in a defined order and with defined parameters, but they are customizable (tools, order, parameters).
The workflows are available in the Shared Workflows, with the labels "cheminformatics" or "moleculardynamics".
Workflow | Description |
---|---|
Library preparation | Preparation of ligand library using PubChem, ChEMBL and ZINC |
Protein-ligand docking | Docking with AutoDock Vina |
Hole filling | Expanding a library into gaps in the chemical space |
Cheminformatics-ML | Machine learning for predicting small molecule protein interactions |
GROMACS | Molecular dynamics simulation with GROMACS |
Bio3D | Molecular dynamics analysis with Bio3D |
Zauberkugel | Pharmacophore-based target prediction of a bioactive ligand using Align-it |
