TLDR? - We completely understand!
We have tried to design the platform to be easy to use. So getting started with your first prediction is a good way of learning as you go. This Quickstart guide will get your first prediction submitted as quickly as possible.
Essential: Sandbox vs Design Projects
| Feature | Sandbox | Design Projects |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Quick experiments, validation | Systematic campaigns, team collaboration |
| Visibility | Private (you only) | Shared with team |
| Virtual Screening | ✗ | ✓ (thousands of molecules) |
| Generative Design | ✗ | ✓ (AI-powered molecular generation) |
| Affinity Prediction | ✓ | ✓ |
| Constraints | ✓ | ✓ |
| Results Storage | Personal history | Project-organized |
Start in Sandbox to validate your target and binding site, then move to a Design Project when you’re ready to screen compound libraries, run generative campaigns, or simply manually test different hypotheses.
Quick Start
Add Components
Import your protein (from PDB or sequence) and ligand (SMILES, structure, or CCD code)
