This is the landing page for the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) Chemistry Networks Project Number 1 (SGC-CNP1).
The SGC is asking for you to contribute synthetic chemistry. In return, the SGC is offering biology. Together we can generate tool compounds to understand biology and validate drug targets to help cure disease. If this sounds interesting, and you agree to the simple RULES (link to SGC page), you can get started.
The molecule at the heart of this project is this:
Data on this compound, and why it's an important target for synthetic variation, are on the wiki.
For answers to all the questions you have, go to the FAQs (link to SGC Networks page).
If you'd like to contact someone to talk about contributing, then write something in an Issue (see the tab above), which is a good way to communicate openly. (Issues describe what currently needs doing and act as a discussion forum - you need a Github account but it's super easy and not spammy. There's also an email address (we need this) you can use to ask questions.
Current scientific status of the project is on the wiki (you can always find the relevant tab above). The current version of the research paper describing this project is at https://tinyurl.com/SGC-CNP1 and is a great place to start if you're new to all this.
Some humans involved in this CNP:
Professor David Drewry, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Original discoverer of the molecule.
Professor Matthew Todd, University College London and Head of Chemistry Networks at the SGC.
Dr X, Company X, Industry Mentor for SGC-CNP1
XYZ is the "James Murray" Student Coordinator.
