The Distance Geometry Problem (DGP) seeks to find positions for a set of points in geometric space when some distances between pairs of these points are known. The so-called discretization assumptions allow to discretize the search space of DGP instances.

In this paper, we study the Discretizable Molecular Distance Geometry Problem whose feasible solutions provide a discretization scheme for the DGP. We propose the first constraint programming formulations as well as a set of checks for proving infeasibility, domain reduction techniques, symmetry breaking constraints and valid inequalities.

Our computational results indicate that our formulations outperform the state-of-the-art integer programming formulations, both for feasible and infeasible instances.
