Drug Discovery

Pythonic wrapper around RDKit with simplified interface and sensible defaults. Preferred for standard drug discovery: SMILES parsing, standardization, descriptors, fingerprints, clustering, 3D conformers, parallel processing. Returns native rdkit.Chem.Mol objects. For advanced control or custom parameters, use rdkit directly.

Access ZINC (230M+ purchasable compounds). Search by ZINC ID/SMILES, similarity searches, 3D-ready structures for docking, analog discovery, for virtual screening and drug discovery.

Query PubChem via PUG-REST API/PubChemPy (110M+ compounds). Search by name/CID/SMILES, retrieve properties, similarity/substructure searches, bioactivity, for cheminformatics.

Access RCSB PDB for 3D protein/nucleic acid structures. Search by text/sequence/structure, download coordinates (PDB/mmCIF), retrieve metadata, for structural biology and drug discovery.

Query Open Targets Platform for target-disease associations, drug target discovery, tractability/safety data, genetics/omics evidence, known drugs, for therapeutic target identification.

Direct REST API access to KEGG (academic use only). Pathway analysis, gene-pathway mapping, metabolic pathways, drug interactions, ID conversion. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices. Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or KEGG-specific control.

Access and analyze comprehensive drug information from the DrugBank database including drug properties, interactions, targets, pathways, chemical structures, and pharmacology data. This skill should be used when working with pharmaceutical data, drug discovery research, pharmacology studies, drug-drug interaction analysis, target identification, chemical similarity searches, ADMET predictions, or any task requiring detailed drug and drug target information from DrugBank.

Query ChEMBL's bioactive molecules and drug discovery data. Search compounds by structure/properties, retrieve bioactivity data (IC50, Ki), find inhibitors, perform SAR studies, for medicinal chemistry.

Access AlphaFold's 200M+ AI-predicted protein structures. Retrieve structures by UniProt ID, download PDB/mmCIF files, analyze confidence metrics (pLDDT, PAE), for drug discovery and structural biology.

Graph-based drug discovery toolkit. Molecular property prediction (ADMET), protein modeling, knowledge graph reasoning, molecular generation, retrosynthesis, GNNs (GIN, GAT, SchNet), 40+ datasets, for PyTorch-based ML on molecules, proteins, and biomedical graphs.

Cheminformatics toolkit for fine-grained molecular control. SMILES/SDF parsing, descriptors (MW, LogP, TPSA), fingerprints, substructure search, 2D/3D generation, similarity, reactions. For standard workflows with simpler interface, use datamol (wrapper around RDKit). Use rdkit for advanced control, custom sanitization, specialized algorithms.

Therapeutics Data Commons. AI-ready drug discovery datasets (ADME, toxicity, DTI), benchmarks, scaffold splits, molecular oracles, for therapeutic ML and pharmacological prediction.

Molecular featurization for ML (100+ featurizers). ECFP, MACCS, descriptors, pretrained models (ChemBERTa), convert SMILES to features, for QSAR and molecular ML.

Medicinal chemistry filters. Apply drug-likeness rules (Lipinski, Veber), PAINS filters, structural alerts, complexity metrics, for compound prioritization and library filtering.

Diffusion-based molecular docking. Predict protein-ligand binding poses from PDB/SMILES, confidence scores, virtual screening, for structure-based drug design. Not for affinity prediction.

Molecular machine learning toolkit. Property prediction (ADMET, toxicity), GNNs (GCN, MPNN), MoleculeNet benchmarks, pretrained models, featurization, for drug discovery ML.

Autonomous biomedical AI agent framework for executing complex research tasks across genomics, drug discovery, molecular biology, and clinical analysis. Use this skill when conducting multi-step biomedical research including CRISPR screening design, single-cell RNA-seq analysis, ADMET prediction, GWAS interpretation, rare disease diagnosis, or lab protocol optimization. Leverages LLM reasoning with code execution and integrated biomedical databases.
