    Z-Matrix template-based substitution approach Title for enumeration of 3D molecular structures Authors Wanutcha Lorpaiboon and Taweetham Limpanuparb* Science Division, Mahidol University International College, Affiliations Mahidol University, Salaya, Nakhon Pathom 73170, Thailand Corresponding Author’s email address [email protected] • Chemical structures • Education Keywords • Molecular generator • Structure generator • Z-matrix Direct Submission or Co-Submission Direct Submission ABSTRACT The exhaustive enumeration of 3D chemical structures based on Z-matrix templates has recently been used in the quantum chemical investigation of constitutional isomers, diastereomers and 5 rotamers. This simple yet powerful initial structure generation approach can apply beyond the investigation of compounds of identical formula by quantum chemical methods. This paper aims to provide a short description of the overall concept followed by a practical tutorial to the approach. • The four steps required for Z-matrix template-based substitution are template construction, generation of tuples for substitution sites, removal of duplicate tuples and 10 substitution on the template. • The generated tuples can be used to create chemical identifiers to query compound properties from chemical databases. • All of these steps are demonstrated in this paper by common model compounds and are very straightforward for an undergraduate audience to reproduce. A comparison of the 15 approach in this tutorial and other options is also discussed. SPECIFICATIONS TABLE Subject Area Chemistry More specific subject area Cheminformatics Method name Z-matrix template-based substitution Name and reference of original method N/A Source codes are available as supplementary information in this Resource availability paper. 2 of 10 Method details 20 1. Introduction Initial structures (Z-matrix or Cartesian coordinate) are important starting points for the in silico investigation of chemical species.

  • Role of Materials Data Science and Informatics in Accelerated Materials Innovation Surya R
    Role of materials data science and informatics in accelerated materials innovation Surya R. Kalidindi , David B. Brough , Shengyen Li , Ahmet Cecen , Aleksandr L. Blekh , Faical Yannick P. Congo , and Carelyn Campbell The goal of the Materials Genome Initiative is to substantially reduce the time and cost of materials design and deployment. Achieving this goal requires taking advantage of the recent advances in data and information sciences. This critical need has impelled the emergence of a new discipline, called materials data science and informatics. This emerging new discipline not only has to address the core scientifi c/technological challenges related to datafi cation of materials science and engineering, but also, a number of equally important challenges around data-driven transformation of the current culture, practices, and workfl ows employed for materials innovation. A comprehensive effort that addresses both of these aspects in a synergistic manner is likely to succeed in realizing the vision of scaled-up materials innovation. Key toolsets needed for the successful adoption of materials data science and informatics in materials innovation are identifi ed and discussed in this article. Prototypical examples of emerging novel toolsets and their functionality are described along with select case studies. Introduction goal of reducing the time and cost of materials development Materials innovation initiatives and deployment by 50%. 1 Essential to achieving this goal is A number of US-based, 1 – 3 as well as international, 4 , 5 efforts are the development and deployment of a supporting infrastruc- now focused on accelerated deployment of advanced materials ture that integrates a wide range of data, experimental, and in commercial products.
