The latest addition (#33) to the Practical Cheminformatics Tutorials series explores Bayesian optimization of reaction conditions. github.com/PatWalters/p...

In a new Practical Cheminformatics post titled "Even More Thoughts on ML Method Comparisons," I share several plots that I find valuable for comparing machine learning methods. practicalcheminformatics.blogspot.com/2025/03/even...

 Determine bond order from XYZ format of molecule #RDKit As readers know that recent version of RDKit supports XYZ format which is used in quantum chemistry field. The format doesn't have information of bond order. So to re-construct from the information bond order determination step is required.…
