Silly Things Large Language Models Do With Molecules

Practical Cheminformatics

Testing Claude’s Molecule Generation Ability To test the molecule generation ability of Claude, a general-purpose LLM from Anthropic, I prompted it to generate analogs for hits from fragment screens. These fragment hits are small molecules with between 11 and 21 heavy atoms.

Reinventing the small molecule toolbox: from proteins to RNA

Dark Matter Blog

We sampled several screening platforms in the course of our efforts, including fragment screening using ligand-observed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), DNA-encoded libraries (DEL), and SEC-MS. Each of these platforms is thoroughly vetted in protein world, but using them on RNA can yield surprising results.
