The Chemical Biology Services team at EMBL-EBI provides free resources supporting drug discovery and handling small molecules in biological databases.
We've just released a webinar that provides background on the #chembl database alongside worked examples highlighting some common scenarios in drug discovery initiatives.

As chemical data grows, turning names into machine-readable structures is key for discovery, automation, and data integration.
OPSIN – now hosted at EMBL-EBI – helps solve this by converting IUPAC names into chemical structures and other machine-readable formats.
