GDB Databases

About

GDB-11 enumerates small organic molecules up to 11 atoms of C, N, O and F following simple chemical stability and synthetic feasibility rules.
GDB-13 enumerates small organic molecules up to 13 atoms of C, N, O, S and Cl following simple chemical stability and synthetic feasibility rules. With 977 468 314 structures, GDB-13 is the largest publicly available small organic molecule database to date.

Download

The GDB databases are hosted on the open-access repository Zenodo. You can download the databases and subsets of it using the links below. All the molecules are stored in dearomatized, canonized SMILES format and compressed as tar/gz archive (for Windows users: Download 7-zip to open archives). To see the structures in drawing format, we suggest MarvinView, a free chemical structure viewer from ChemAxon.

Tagsfree Encoding System for Combinatorial Peptide Libraries

About

TAGSFREE is a program for designing split-and-mix peptide libraries that can be decoded by amino acid analysis. The analysis is independent of peptide topology (linear, branched, cyclic) and amino acid type (natural or non-natural, including beta-amino acids).
