Do I need a local compute cluster to use the Rowan skill?

No, Rowan is a cloud-native platform. All intensive quantum chemistry calculations are handled on Rowan's remote servers, requiring only an API key and internet access.

How do I securely manage my Rowan API key?

The recommended method is setting the ROWAN_API_KEY as an environment variable, which the Python library automatically detects upon initialization.

Can I integrate Rowan with my existing RDKit scripts?

Yes, Rowan provides a native RDKit API that allows you to pass RDKit molecule objects directly into functions like run_pka or run_optimization.

What levels of theory are available for calculations?

Rowan supports various levels of theory including Density Functional Theory (DFT) variants like B3LYP and ωB97X, semiempirical methods like GFN2-xTB, and neural network potentials like AIMNet2.

Which AI models does Rowan support for protein structure prediction?

Rowan supports industry-leading AI models including Chai-1, Boltz-1, and Boltz-2 for protein-ligand cofolding and structure prediction.
