CPC Subclass Not Allocatable
G16C

COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY; CHEMOINFORMATICS; COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS SCIENCE

Description

G16C encompasses computational and informatics techniques applied to chemistry and materials science, including molecular modeling, quantum chemistry simulations, drug discovery algorithms, and chemical database systems. This subclass covers software tools, databases, and computational methods for predicting molecular properties, simulating chemical reactions, optimizing material structures, and analyzing chemical data at scale. Applications include structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis, virtual screening, molecular docking, and materials property prediction. The classification excludes general data processing (G16B for biological data) and purely experimental chemical or materials testing.
