# CANDO

Computational Analysis of Novel Drug Opportunities

---

## Background

CANDO is a unique computational drug discovery, design, and repurposing platform that analyses drug interactions on a proteomic scale, adhering to the multitarget drug theory, for the purposes of shotgun drug discovery and repurposing, i.e., to evaluate every drug for every disease. [1-13]

The platform relates small molecules based on their computed interactions with all protein structures, known as an interaction signature with the hypothesis being drugs with similar interaction signatures will have similar behavior in biological systems and will therefore be useful against the same indications.


## Install

You may download the source code via the releases or cloning the git repository. However, we suggest using pip or anaconda to install the CANDO package, as this is the easiest and quickest way to start using our platform! 


### Pip

`pip install cando-py`


### Anaconda

The CANDO package relies on multiple "conda-forge" dependencies. Therefore, we require that you add "conda-forge" to your anaconda channels: 

`conda config --add channels conda-forge`

Create a new conda environment if one for does not already exist for CANDO:

`conda create -n cando python==3.7 `

Activate the new environment:

`conda activate cando`

Then you can install CANDO using the following command:

`conda install -c ram-compbio cando`


## Tutorial

There is a CANDO tutorial available as a Jupyter notebook.
This notebook can be found [here](https://github.com/ram-compbio/CANDO/blob/master/CANDO_tutorial.ipynb) in this repo.

It can also be downloaded from anaconda:

`anaconda download ram-compbio/CANDO_tutorial`


## Documentation

CANDO API can be found [here](https://github.com/ram-compbio/CANDO/blob/master/docs)


## Test

You can test your install by running our script:

[run_test.py](https://github.com/ram-compbio/CANDO/blob/master/run_test.py)
