Abstract
The concept that computers can be creative in designing new molecules is now being actively explored. Our work has been aimed at developing an intercommunicating hybrid system using a genetic algorithm and a backpropagation neural network model for solving the general problem of designing molecules with specific properties. A case study dealing with biodegradation modeling is presented. The usefulness of the intercommunicating hybrid systems in QSAR and drug design is emphasized.

Nathan Brown, Ben McKay, François Gilardoni, and Johann GasteigerJournal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences2004 44 (3), 1079-1087A Graph-Based Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to the Multiobjective Evolution of Median Molecules
Nathan Brown, Ben McKay, François Gilardoni, and Johann GasteigerJournal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences2004 44 (3), 1079-1087In this paper we propose a novel graph-based genetic algorithm for the evolution of novel molecular graphs from a predefined set of elements or molecular fragments with an external objective function. A brief overview of existing genetic algorithm ...
