Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about the platform, supported interfaces, pricing, and support.
General
What is Plexus Labs?
Plexus Labs is a browser-native platform that brings the entire computational drug-discovery stack into one place — a native 3D molecular studio, AI-driven workflows, and direct integration with leading open-source and commercial scientific tools, all accessible from a single interface.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Plexus Labs runs entirely in your web browser. There are no installers, version upgrades, or platform-specific dependencies to manage — you can access the platform instantly from any modern browser on any operating system.
What do I need to get started?
Just a modern web browser and an account. There's no hardware to provision and no software to configure — once you sign in, the tools are ready to use.
Platform & Collaboration
What is the Molecular 3D Studio?
It's a high-performance, browser-native environment for visualizing and editing molecular structures, with support for large complexes, low-latency trajectory streaming, and publication-grade rendering — kept in sync with your molecular spreadsheets.
Can my team collaborate in real time?
Yes. Multiple team members can work in the same shared workspace simultaneously, with the 3D studio and molecular spreadsheets kept synchronized for everyone — whether you're reviewing results, brainstorming, or presenting.
Do I have to manage software updates and configuration?
No. Every tool is preconfigured and maintained for you, so there's no installation, dependency management, or version juggling. You can focus on research instead of infrastructure.
Interfaces & Tools
Which interfaces does the platform support?
We support a growing catalog across four areas: descriptor calculators (e.g. RDKit, PaDEL, Mordred), docking engines (e.g. AutoDock, rDock, VinaGPU), AI/ML binding predictors (e.g. DiffDock, EquiBind, NeuralPLexer), and molecular dynamics suites (e.g. GROMACS, NAMD, LAMMPS). See the Interfaces page for the full list.
Can I use several tools and compare their results?
Yes. You can run multiple tools and versions side by side and compare their outputs within the same workspace, choosing the best tool for each specific task without any operational overhead.
Do you support both open-source and commercial tools?
Yes. We integrate leading open-source tools alongside commercial packages, all behind one unified interface — so you get the strengths of each without the integration headache.
What if the tool I need isn't listed?
Let us know through the contact page. We add new interfaces regularly and will work to bring the engines your research depends on onto the platform.
Pricing & Billing
How does pricing work?
Plexus Labs is pay-as-you-go: you're billed for the compute and storage you actually use, with no large upfront investment or long-term commitment.
Can I estimate my costs before committing?
Yes. Our pricing page includes a resource calculator where you can estimate monthly costs based on CPU hours, GPU hours, and storage.
Which plans are available?
We offer plans suited to everyone from individual researchers to large teams and enterprises. Visit the pricing page for current options.
Support & Demos
What are the support hours?
