MolGen

Generate novel, chemically valid analogs of a seed molecule with a SELFIES molecular language model

Hardware and price

Price per run

What a typical run reserves from your wallet: the catalog's expected runtime on each piece of hardware × your plan's per-second rate. Larger inputs reserve more, and you're charged only for the seconds the job actually runs.

In workflows

Chain it with other steps.

Each input and output has a data kind, so the builder only connects steps that fit.

Inputs

  • Molecules (list) · optionalSMILES, SDF, MOLBLOCK, INCHI

Outputs

  • ArchiveZIP
  • TableCSV
  • MoleculesSMILES

Run via API

Submit it from your own code.

Use an API key from your account. The estimate uses your plan's rates; submitting reserves that amount from your wallet.

# Estimate the reservation for your plan (payload fields: see the API reference)
curl -X POST https://api.cognichem.com/api/v1/jobs/estimate \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $COGNICHEM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"job_type": "molgen", "resource": "a10", "payload": {}}'

# Submit (retrying with the same Idempotency-Key never submits twice)
curl -X POST https://api.cognichem.com/api/v1/jobs/submit \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $COGNICHEM_API_KEY" \

Cheminformatics & Structure

  • Fingerprint Similarity & Clustering

    Tanimoto nearest neighbors, Butina clustering, MaxMin diversity, and Scanpy PCA/UMAP/Leiden clustering from molecular fingerprints

  • 3D Shape Similarity

    3D shape and pharmacophore virtual screening: rank libraries against a query conformer with USRCAT and Gaussian shape + color overlay to find scaffold hops

  • Image to Structure (OCSR)

    Read chemical structures and reaction schemes from images of papers, slides and whiteboards as SMILES, with each reading checked by a second model

  • ChEMBL Target Activities

    Pull measured IC50, Ki, Kd and EC50 values for your targets from ChEMBL into one table, ready to curate and train on

  • Bioactivity Dataset Curator & Splitter

    Normalize assay units, censoring, and replicates into SAR/QSAR datasets with scaffold, random, or time splits

  • Free Wilson Analysis

    Quantify R-group SAR contributions and predict unsynthesized molecules from activity data
