Aims of ZINC12

The aim of ZINC12 is to simplify the prioritization and purchasing of new molecules.

Aims of this document

General Notes

  • ZINC12 is not really ready for prime time. (May 3, 2011). However, it now contains enough new features to be interesting. Thus we are encouraging people to try it.
