title: DBMAKER: a set of programs to generate three-dimensional databases based upon user-specified criteria.
abstract: DBMAKER is a program that, in conjunction with CONCORD, generates three-dimensional structural databases. Numerous user-defined parameters monitor content, composition, size and connectivity information, but allow the program to generate random compounds within the scope of these constraints. SMILES string representations are generated, and conversion to 3D is performed by CONCORD. This assures high-quality 3D structures and portability to numerous proprietary storage formats. Methods are described to maintain compound registration, allowing database expansion as required without duplication.
