💻 Usage Guide

Quick Start

from datasets import load_dataset
import pandas as pd

# Load the complete dataset
dataset = load_dataset("Gatescrispy/Largest_therapeutic_molecule_dataset_with_1.4M_compounds_for_scientific_research")

# Access different splits
train_data = dataset['train']
validation_data = dataset['validation']
test_data = dataset['test']

print(f"Training molecules: {len(train_data):,}")
print(f"Validation molecules: {len(validation_data):,}")
print(f"Test molecules: {len(test_data):,}")
print(f"Total molecules: {len(train_data) + len(validation_data) + len(test_data):,}")

Analysis Examples

Molecular Property Analysis

# Convert to pandas for analysis
df = train_data.to_pandas()

# Molecular weight distribution
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.hist(df['molecular_weight'], bins=50, alpha=0.7)
plt.xlabel('Molecular Weight (Da)')
plt.ylabel('Frequency')
plt.title('Molecular Weight Distribution')
plt.axvline(500, color='red', linestyle='--', label='Lipinski Limit')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

# Drug-likeness assessment
lipinski_compliant = (
    (df['molecular_weight'] <= 500) &
    (df['logp'] <= 5) &
    (df['hbd'] <= 5) &
    (df['hba'] <= 10)
)
print(f"Lipinski compliant: {lipinski_compliant.sum():,} ({lipinski_compliant.mean()*100:.1f}%)")

Bioactivity Analysis

# Extract bioactivities
bioactivities = df['bioactivities'].explode().value_counts()
print("Top 10 bioactivities:")
print(bioactivities.head(10))

# High-potential compounds
champions = df[df['is_champion'] == True]
print(f"Champion molecules: {len(champions):,}")

# Traditional use categories
traditional_uses = df['traditional_use'].value_counts()
print("Traditional use categories:")
print(traditional_uses.head(10))

Machine Learning Pipeline

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error, r2_score

# Prepare features for bioactivity prediction
features = ['molecular_weight', 'logp', 'hbd', 'hba', 'tpsa', 'rotatable_bonds']
X = df[features].fillna(df[features].median())
y = df['bioactivity_score']

# Train-test split
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Train model
model = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=100, random_state=42)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Evaluate
y_pred = model.predict(X_test)
print(f"R² Score: {r2_score(y_test, y_pred):.3f}")
print(f"RMSE: {mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred, squared=False):.3f}")
