Molecule Generation
Generate novel molecular structures with desired properties
Task Overview
Molecule generation aims to create novel molecular structures with desired properties. This task involves generating SMILES strings or molecular graphs that satisfy specific chemical and biological constraints, such as drug-likeness, synthetic accessibility, and desired pharmacological properties.
Impact
Generative models can explore vast chemical spaces to discover novel drug candidates that might be missed by traditional screening approaches. This accelerates the drug discovery process by providing chemists with innovative starting points for optimization.
Generalization
Models must generalize to generate diverse, novel molecules while maintaining chemical validity and desired properties across different molecular scaffolds and property profiles.
Product
Small-molecule.
Pipeline Stage
Hit identification and lead optimization.
Usage Example
You can access generation tasks using the PyTDC library:
from tdc_ml.generation import MoleculeGeneration
# Load the task
task = MoleculeGeneration()
# Generate or predict
result = task.generate()
