What is Progenesis SDF Studio?
Progenesis SDF Studio is free software that enables you to view, merge and repair your SDF and MOL files. Exported SDFs can be used as a data source in Progenesis QI, or in any other software that consumes SDFs.
Key benefits
Using Progenesis SDF Studio, you’ll benefit from:
- visualisation and exploration of compounds in your database
- efficient merging of multiple SDF/MOL files into one database
- automatic highlighting of invalid compounds
Explore your SDF database
Progenesis SDF Studio allows you to easily and clearly see which compounds are present in your SDF database file. Each compound's 2D structure is shown graphically, along with metadata such as description, mass and formula. The database can be searched and sorted using a number of compound properties, enabling deep exploration of your data.
Combine SDF/MOL files
Multiple databases from disparate sources can be combined in a simple and efficient process. The combination is searchable as normal, and duplicates can be manually deleted. Export your combination to a new SDF, thus creating a truly customized compound database.
Automatic highlighting of invalid compounds
The Progenesis team have encountered many incorrectly formatted SDF databases. Rather than reject these invalid files outright, Progenesis SDF Studio intelligently detects and highlights which specific compounds are invalid. You then have the choice of fixing or deleting the broken compounds.
