MolPredictX is a free-access web tool in which it is possible to analyze the prediction of biological activity of chemical molecules. MolPredictX has been available online to the general public for just over a year and has now gone through its first update. We also developed its version for android, being the first free app capable of predicting biological activities. MolPredictX is available for free at https://www.molpredictX.ufpb.br/ , and its mobile application version can be obtained from Google Play.
