The Chemistry Commons is a platform to connect investigators with mutual interests in ligand discovery.
- synthetic organic chemists who have developed new reaction schemes and wonder whether they make useful compounds
- biologists and medicinal chemists seeking new reagents for biology and always looking for new compounds
- as well as computational chemists, who can assist both camps.
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.
