TOLEDO

Batch Maestro–Desmond molecular dynamics for non-expert users.

About

TOLEDO is an automation layer on top of Schrödinger’s Maestro/Desmond molecular-dynamics platform. It lets non-expert users (and high-throughput users) prepare, run and post-process many MD simulations with consistent parameters and minimal manual intervention.

It addresses a common pain point: Maestro’s GUI is excellent for one-off MDs but does not scale to comparative studies across ligand series or many systems.

Lead authors: Miguel Carmena Bargueño and Carlos Martínez Cortés

Key features

GUI-driven mass MD

Batch generation and execution of Maestro–Desmond MD setups.

Automated equilibration

System preparation and equilibration following standard protocols.

Comparative analysis

Designed for side-by-side comparison across ligand series or system variants.
