TRACEDD: Tool-grounded Reasoning and Agentic Coordination for Explainable Drug Design
This work introduces TRACEDD, a tool-first multi-agent framework in which large language models serve as the reasoning and orchestration layer while domain-validated computational tools supply structural, chemical, pharmacological, and synthetic predictions, and it demonstrates an end-to-end JAK2 workflow spanning target validation, structure retrieval or AlphaFold prediction, druggable pocket identification, reinforcement-learning-based de novo molecular generation, lead optimization, ADMET and bioactivity evaluation, literature evidence integration, and retrosynthesis planning, with each decision linked to explicit tool invocations and intermediate evidence.
