FragmentStore--a comprehensive database of fragments linking metabolites, toxic molecules and drugs.

Consideration of biomolecules in terms of their molecular building blocks provides valuable new information regarding their synthesis, degradation and similarity. Here, we present the FragmentStore, a resource for the comparison of fragments found in metabolites, drugs or toxic compounds. Starting from 13,000 metabolites, 16,000 drugs and 2200 toxic compounds we generated 35,000 different building blocks (fragments), which are not only relevant to their biosynthesis and degradation but also provide important information regarding side-effects and toxicity.
