The Chemistry Commons is an effort to facilitate the connections between

  • synthetic organic chemists who have developed new reaction schemes
  • biologists seeking new reagents for biology
  • as well as medicinal chemists and computational chemists.

Outline

  • Synthetic organic chemists wish to make their chemistry relevant to biology
  • Chemists use the Chemistry Commons to articulate and enumerate libraries of accessible compounds
  • Libraries in 2D and 3D are prepared and made available.
  • Biologists (and the computational chemists they work with) search these databases for molecules that look interesting
  • Compounds are prioritized for synthesis
  • A collaborative agreement is reached between the synthetic chemist and the biology lab testing the compounds
  • Compounds are produced, tested, and, ideally, some compounds will work.

How to get started

If you are a synthetic organic chemist, with a new reaction scheme, please use our tools to define your reaction. CC:Library preparation

If you are a biologist or medicinal chemist, seeking new compounds for your target, search the libraries in 2D using Smallworld CC:Smallworld and Arthor CC:Arthor or in 3D using docking or other 3D methods. CC:Docking

Naming conventions

ZINC-22 molecules have the form ZINCnprx01234567 where

  • n indicates the heavy atom count of the molecule
  • p indicates the calculated logP bin of the molecule
  • r indicates the research group that originated the reaction scheme
  • x indicates the ordinal number of the reaction scheme from that research group
  • 01234567 is the ordinal for each molecule in this space (monotonic increasing from 1)
  • numbers are in radix-62, thus [0-9][a-z][A-Z]

Synthetic organic research groups may elect to perform the synthesis, or to enable it to be performed by a third party.
