Google adds Cheminformatics Skills to Antigravity for chemistry workflow

The walkthrough demonstrates the classic medicinal‑chemistry technique of rigidifying a molecule to improve potency. It compares crizotinib, a first‑generation tyrosine‑kinase inhibitor with five major rotatable bonds, to lorlatinib, a third‑generation analogue that has been cyclized to eliminate rotatable bonds, resulting in higher binding affinity. By adding a second bond in the right location, chemists can lock a molecule into the shape needed for target binding, paying the entropic cost in advance.

The new Cheminformatics Skills aim to free chemists from repetitive data‑integration tasks, allowing them to focus on hypothesis generation and experimental design rather than manual format conversion.
