Description

We developed MolePro, a knowledge-centric data provider for systems chemical biology, as part of the NCATS Biomedical Data Translator (“Translator”). MolePro aims to (1) integrate data sources in an unbiased way, and (2) provide a curated, unified framework for chemical entities to deepen our understanding of target biology. MolePro takes advantage of broad access to a powerful and diverse suite of public chemical-biology datasets, portals, and tools, to integrate information available for compounds and their protein targets, including similarity-based connections. We follow a stringent procedure to avoid expert bias, including data scouting, architecture building, and recording data provenance, to create a unified framework for compounds and their targets that can suggest new compounds or targets based on “guilt-by-association” inferences from large data corpora. We bring to the Translator project chemical-biology expertise that typically involves probe- or drug-discovery activities, flagging toxicity or other unwanted effects, and highlighting small-molecule mechanisms of action.
