How does this skill handle large molecular datasets?

It utilizes batch processing and parallelization (n_jobs parameter) for heavy computations like descriptor generation, fingerprints, and similarity matrices to maximize CPU performance.

Are the molecules created by Datamol compatible with other chemistry libraries?

Yes, Datamol returns native rdkit.Chem.Mol objects, ensuring complete compatibility with the RDKit ecosystem and other tools that utilize RDKit objects.

Can I use Datamol to generate 3D structures for compounds?

Yes, it includes a robust conformer module for generating 3D coordinates, minimizing energy using force fields, and calculating properties like Solvent Accessible Surface Area (SASA).

What is the primary benefit of using Datamol over raw RDKit?

Datamol provides a more Pythonic interface with sensible defaults, simplified I/O (including cloud support), and built-in parallelization for common tasks that are often verbose in raw RDKit.
