ZINC15:What's New

A lot.

New Resources

In ZINC12, no matter what the question, the answer was always "molecules". In ZINC15, it is now possible to ask many other kinds of questions. The types of things you make ask about are called resources. Thus Substances is a resource, the querying of which is most of what was available in ZINC12.

Faster

ZINC15 is faster than ZINC12 thanks to RDKit and PostgreSQL. The good side of this is that we can now offer complete database searches, resulting in better estimates of the true answers. The bad side is that it has allowed us to be ambitious, and we have allowed many queries that are quite ambitious and correspondingly may take a long time to run. The goal is to have these long runing queries automatically re-routed to batch mode, but we are not there yet.

New Questions

See our examples page for examples of the new questions that may be asked. ZINC15:examples.

And don't forget!

• InChI and InChIkey support
