Molecular design and simulation tools for scientists

Computation has transformed scientific discovery. Modern algorithms and machine learning models can dramatically accelerate R&D, helping companies find better molecules faster. But knowing where and how to incorporate computation isn’t trivial, and building the right infrastructure and expertise internally can take months or years.

Rowan makes it simple to use modern computational techniques to solve your scientific problems. Design, simulate, and analyze molecules and materials through our web platform—or work with our experts to build custom solutions for your organization.

Quickly predict pKa values

Predict the acidity of small molecules with Rowan's pKa workflow. Rowan uses AIMNet2, a machine-learned interatomic potential, to obtain fast and reasonable pKa values with minimal empiricism.

Get answers in seconds with neural network potentials

When you're doing research, you need answers in seconds, not days. AIMNet2 is an incredibly fast neural network potential that powers computational chemistry simulations in Rowan.

Find low energy conformers

Quickly explore conformational space with Rowan's conformer search workflow. Rowan uses fast low-level methods to generate conformers and then scores the each structure with a more accurate final method.

Edit and view 3D structures in your browser

Designing a new compound? Need to quickly adjust an angle? Rowan's 3D molecule editor makes it easy to draw molecules from scratch and edit existing 3D structures.

Script your own workflows in Python

Quickly script custom workflows with Rowan's convenient Python API. Output data is returned as a developer-friendly Python dictionary, making downstream analysis simple. And the API is fully integrated with the web backend, so jobs submitted from the web can be analyzed through Python (and vice versa).

import cctk
import rowan

rowan.api_key = "rowan-sk..."
client = rowan.Client()

# load molecule by name
molecule = cctk.Molecule.new_from_name("cyclobutane")

# run calculation remotely and return result
result = client.compute(
    "calculation",
    input_mol=molecule,
    name="opt cyclobutane",
    method="aimnet2_wb97md3",
    tasks=["optimize", "charge"]
)

View and share results immediately

You can see presentation-quality graphs and figures even before a job is finished. No need to teach an experimental scientist how to open a coordinate file—just generate a shareable link for any calculation and send it over.

State-of-the-art security measures

Rowan encrypts all your data in transit and at rest. For confidential jobs, run Rowan's Python API in delete_when_finished mode or run the Rowan AMI in your own AWS account or virtual private cloud (awaiting AWS Marketplace approval).
