Back after an afternoon of heavy hiking to Castle Boymont uphill from Schloss Korb. Great stuff.
Day 3, Morning Session on Macromolecular Interactions: P-P, P-NA, NA-Light
Sara Linse of Lund report on her group’s work on Protein Interactions, Association and Fibrillation. Systems Chemistry is the study of molecules acting collectively, she proposes. Her focus of course [...]

The Wednesday morning session is about to start. Paul Labute chairs it.
Tom Blundell of Cambridge starts with “Exploring Biological and Chemical Space with High-Throughput Crystallographic, Biophysical and Computational Methods: The new Dimensions of Drug Discovery”. Tom starts with a view on a cell, stating its complicatedness or complexity. He points out the large number [...]

I’ve been invited to deliver the summary talk for the 2008 Beilstein Symposium on Systems Chemistry in Bolzano, Italy. Being there for the fourth time in eight years (this symposium is biannual) I really always enjoy the meeting in this beautiful setting from the very first minute. The fact that the view and the food [...]

I was invited to give my views on some new chemistry in European Bioinformatics at a Meeting held by the CICAG group of the Royal Society, held at Burlington House, London.
Peter Murray-Rust set the scene by emphasising the importance for Open Data. He showed some fantastic work on data extraction by OSCAR from theses, where [...]

… with a reasonably small footprint … and we’ll soon have one that is actually usable.
Well, with the JChemPaint applet, as used in NMRShiftDB, we do have an open source structure drawing applet available but we (as in “the makers”) have to admit that it still has a pretty big foot print. If you look [...]

The first user workshop of the European Bioinformatics Institute’s (EBI) database and ontology of Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) is over. We had about 30 participants from industry, universities and research institutions. The user workshop started with three talks by ChEBI users reporting on their particular use of our resource. Colin Bachelor from the [...]
