UCI ChemDB Featured Sections
ChemicalSearch: Find Chemicals by Various Criteria
Find a chemical by basic criteria like molecular weight and predicted logP, or by the more abstract notion of structural similarity.
 
Virtual Chemical Space: Retro-Synthesis and Combinatorial Library Design
Interactively deconstruct target compounds into component precursors and reconstruct similar building-blocks into combinatorial libraries representing the "virtual chemical space" near the target compound.
 
Synthesis Explorer: Organic Chemistry Reaction Tutorials
Integrated system that generates example organic chemistry reaction problems including product prediction and retrosynthesis / synthesis design.
 
Learning Datasets: For Machine-Learning and Testing
Various available chemical datasets annotated with interesting properties to train and test machine-learning prediction methods.
 
Supplements: Articles and Support Material
Online articles relating to the system with supplementary data and figures referenced in them.
