SUMMARY We present Icolos, a workflow manager written in Python as a tool for automating complex structure-based workflows for drug design. 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 molecular de novo design package. In this publication, we focus on the internal structure and general capabilities of Icolos, using molecular docking experiments as an illustrative example. AVAILABILITY The source code is freely available at https://github.com/MolecularAI/Icolos under the Apache 2.0 licence. Tutorial notebooks containing minimal working examples can be found at https://github.com/MolecularAI/IcolosCommunity. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION A detailed description of the package, including common use cases, a full list of supported steps, and implementation details is provided in the SI.
