# ZINC Database

## Overview

ZINC is a freely accessible repository of 230M+ purchasable compounds maintained by UCSF. Search by ZINC ID or SMILES, perform similarity searches, download 3D-ready structures for docking, discover analogs for virtual screening and drug discovery.

## When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

- **Virtual screening**: Finding compounds for molecular docking studies
- **Lead discovery**: Identifying commercially-available compounds for drug development
- **Structure searches**: Performing similarity or analog searches by SMILES
- **Compound retrieval**: Looking up molecules by ZINC IDs or supplier codes
