Silicos is pleased to announce the release of version 3 of its molecular filtering software Sieve. Sieve is a program for filtering out molecules with unwanted properties. It is based on the Open Babel open source C++ API (version 2.3) for rapid calculation of molecular properties. The program comes with a number of pre-programmed molecular properties that can be used for filtering. These properties include, amongst others: • Physicochemical parameters, such as logP, topological polar surface area criteria, number of hydrogen bond acceptors and donors, and Lipinski's rule-of-five; • Graph-based properties, including ring-based parameters and rotatable bond criteria; • Selection criteria by means of smarts patterns; • Similarity criteria; • Three-dimensional distances between user-definable fragments; • Criteria based on molecular titles and/or SDF-tags Sieve is a command line-driven program that is instructed by means of command line options and a user-definable filter file. The source code is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published the Free Software Foundation version 2 of the License.
