Blaze – New/Improved Features

Tiered Approach to Searching
> Field Finger Print > Crude but gets rid of poor matches
> ‘Clique’> Alignment and 1 time score
> ‘Simplex’> Optimised alignment – equivalent to Forge routine
We want improved speed but maintain accuracyWe want to replace the finger print stage with
something better

Clique refinementDistance matrix of field points used to construct alignments
Many alignments Scoring used to find the
best
15

Clique has many parameters
> Minimum size of field point to include> Types of field point to include> Maximum number of cliques to generate> …> Parameter choice a balance with the emphasis
on the best alignments not the shortest time> Correct option in Forge and in final Simplex
refinementModify parameters for Clique refinement to
optimize for time vs accuracyRecover accuracy with the Simplex refinement?

> What % of the top scoring results do we recover using clique and fastclique?> Assume top 1% simplex results are the gold standard> Refine top 10% of clique results in simplex> Measure % of top hits recovered
> Repeat for many search queries

FastClique Conclusions
> Drop in accuracy can be countered by taking more FieldPrint results forward
> Greater throughput even when doubling the numbers in the Clique refinement
> Recommended for all users> Set your defaults in your Blaze profile

Processing Reagents into Databases
> Intended to aid synthetically accessible choices for a series> Not assessing global “Synthesizability” > Assume synthetic chemists already know how to
make most of the molecule> Want to capture the origins of an R group
> Not trying to encode all chemical transformations> Transformation can represent multiple chemical steps
> Extensible > Add your own transformations> Get us to write a new transformation for you

> 17 rules for conversion of R groups to fragments> Only single attachment points
> Leaf groups not cores

Acids/acid chlorides, delete the -COOH
Acids where we keep only the group attached to the acid carbonyl. e.g. R-COOH -> R-*
Amines, keep the N
Primary and secondary amines where the N is the attachment point such as in reductive aminations e.g. R-NH2 -> R-NH-*
Aromatic halide Aromatic halides (Cl,Br,I) e.g. Ph-Cl -> Ph-*
