Web chemistry components in JavaScript
October 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Chemoinformatics, Open Science
Colleague Noel O’Boyle has already reported it: There is now an open collection of javascript-based chemistry components for the web, called ChemDoodle, released under GPL license by iChemLabs, inc. The stuff looks really neat. The collection comprises viewers, an editor, a look-up component (try entering accession numbers such as “1″, “2″ or “3″ (you get [...]

What do we expect from a chemical structure editor applet?
July 11th, 2009 · No Comments · ChEBI, Chemistry Development Kit, Chemoinformatics, JChemPaint, Open Science, Open Source, Scientific Culture
My team at the EBI maintains a couple of databases [1,2,3] dealing with various aspects of (bio-) organic chemistry. All of them need chemical structure editor applets where users can specify queries for substructure searches and which are used by our curators for data entry.The development of these databases is funded by the European Union [...]
