New Deposited Datasets

EUbOPEN Chemogenomic Library (src_id = 55, ChEMBL Document ID CHEMBL4689842):

The EUbOPEN consortium is an Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) funded project to enable and unlock biology in the open. The aims of the project are to assemble an open access chemogenomic library comprising about 5,000 well annotated compounds covering roughly 1,000 different proteins, to synthesize at least 100 high-quality, open-access chemical probes and to develop infrastructure, technologies and platforms. Screening data generated during this 5 year project will be deposited in ChEMBL.

Donated Chemical Probes - SGC Frankfurt (src_id = 54, ChEMBL Document IDs CHEMBL4800721-CHEMBL4800732):

Data for new chemical probes has been added.

UKQSAR Spring 2023 Meeting Announcement

The next UKQSAR meeting will be held at the European Bioinformatic Institute (EBI) on 20th April. This is where the ChEMBL team is also located! It would be great to welcome you for the occasion and have a chat if you have any questions on our services! See below for the official announcement. The meeting is free but you have to register. -------------- UK-QSAR Spring 2023 meeting Thursday 20th April 2023 / 9:00 AM - 17:00 PM / Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridgeshire The Spring UKQSAR & Cheminformatics Group Meeting will be held at the Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, on Thursday 20th April 2022. The meeting is organised jointly by EMBL-EBI and Sosei Heptares, and as always is free. The theme this time is “Learning from data” and for the occasion three of the most relevant databases for our fields will be introduced (PubChem, ChEMBL and the Cambridge Structural Database). The afternoon sessions will be focused on protein structure-based

LSH-based similarity search in MongoDB is faster than postgres cartridge.

TL;DR: In his excellent blog post , Matt Swain described the implementation of compound similarity searches in MongoDB . Unfortunately, Matt's approach had suboptimal ( polynomial ) time complexity with respect to decreasing similarity thresholds, which renders unsuitable for production environments. In this article, we improve on the method by enhancing it with Locality Sensitive Hashing algorithm, which significantly reduces query time and outperforms RDKit PostgreSQL cartridge . myChEMBL 21 - NoSQL edition Given that NoSQL technologies applied to computational chemistry and cheminformatics are gaining traction and popularity, we decided to include a taster in future myChEMBL releases. Two especially appealing technologies are Neo4j and MongoDB . The former is a graph database and the latter is a BSON document storage. We would like to provide IPython notebook -based tutorials explaining how to use this software to deal with common cheminformatics p

Natural Product-likeness in ChEMBL

Recently, we included a Natural Product-likeness score for chemical compounds stored in ChEMBL. We made use of an algorithm published by Peter Ertl, Silvio Roggo and Ansgar Schuffenhauer in 2008 . Whereas the original version of this algorithm used a commercial data set of Natural Product molecules for training the algorithm (the CRC Dictionary of Natural Products) and an in-house library of synthetic molecules as a negative set, we used Greg Landrum's RDKit implementation which is based on ~50,000 natural products collected from various open databases and ~1 million drug-like molecules from ZINC as a "non-Natural Product background". After including the new score into ChEMBL, we were interested to see whether the results look meaningful. We had a handful of simple questions: How is Natural Product-likeness distributed in ChEMBL and how does this compare to Natural Product-likeness for "real" NPs? Can we observe any difference in Natural Product-likeness for
