ChEMBL Database

--- name: chembl-database description: "Query ChEMBL's bioactive molecules and drug discovery data. Search compounds by structure/properties, retrieve bioactivity data (IC50, Ki), find inhibitors, perform SAR studies, for medicinal chemistry." --- # ChEMBL Database ## Overview ChEMBL is a manually curated database of bioactive molecules maintained by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), containing over 2 million compounds, 19 million bioactivity measurements, 13,000+ drug targets, and data on approved drugs and clinical candidates. Access and query this data programmatically using the ChEMBL Python client for drug discovery and medicinal chemistry research. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: - **Compound searches**: Finding molecules by name, structure, or properties - **Target information**: Retrieving data about proteins, enzymes, or biological targets - **Bioactivity data**: Querying IC50, Ki, EC50, or other activity measurements - **Drug informa
