## Molecular Data Generation in Faraday

Faraday provides powerful controlled data generation capabilities to help you expand your chemical libraries and explore new molecular space systematically. Generate a user-defined number of novel molecules starting from any valid, drug-like structure(s), enabling comprehensive SAR exploration, analog generation, library expansion, and scaffold hopping.

## Controlled Data Generation

Generate a user-defined number of novel molecules starting from any valid, drug-like structure(s). Faraday supports multiple approaches to molecular generation, allowing you to explore chemical space in a controlled and systematic manner.

Key capabilities include:

* **SAR exploration** – Generate analogs to understand structure-activity relationships
* **Analog generation** – Create similar molecules with desired modifications
* **Library expansion** – Scale up your compound collections efficiently
* **Scaffold hopping** – Explore alternative core structures with similar properties
* **User-defined quantities** – Generate exactly the number of molecules you need
* **Drug-like filtering** – Ensure generated molecules meet pharmaceutical standards

**Sample prompts:**

* Generate 50 analogs of \[SMILES string]
* Create a library of 100 molecules similar to aspirin
* Generate scaffold hops for this compound: \[SMILES]
* Expand my dataset with 200 drug-like molecules based on these structures
* Create analogs with improved solubility for \[compound name]
* Generate diverse molecules for SAR exploration around this hit: \[SMILES]
