ChEMBL Target Activities

Pull measured IC50, Ki, Kd, and EC50 values for your targets from ChEMBL into one table

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.

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": "chembl-activities", "resource": "cpu", "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" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"job_name": "chembl-activities-1", "job_type": "chembl-activities", "resource": "cpu", "payload": { ... }}'

Cheminformatics & Structure

  • Fingerprint Similarity & Clustering

    Tanimoto neighbors, Butina and Leiden clustering, MaxMin diversity picks, and UMAP maps from fingerprints

  • 3D Shape Similarity

    3D shape and pharmacophore virtual screening against a query conformer with USRCAT and Gaussian overlap

  • Image to Structure (OCSR)

    Read structures and reaction schemes from images of papers and slides as SMILES, checked by a second model

  • 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

  • MolGen

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