First paper in Journal of Cheminformatics reaches “highly accessed” status
July 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Chemoinformatics, Open Science, Publishing, Scientific Culture
Our new Journal of Cheminformatics has as of today, 22/07/09, published 11 papers since its launch in March of this year. One of those 11 papers has now reached the “highly accessed” status after it has recently been downloaded more than 1000 times. This is time for a celebration since it again demonstrates the superior [...]

What do we expect from a chemical structure editor applet?
July 11th, 2009 · 5 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 [...]

June 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Chemoinformatics, Hot Science, Open Access, Open Data, Open Science, Open Source, People, Scientific Culture, Teaching
If the pompous title caught your attention, and you are ashamed of that: Don’t worry. It is all true. My cheminformatics and metabolism group at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is looking for a phd student this year and all you need to do is apply through the regular route. The range of possible topics [...]

NMRShiftDB now with more than 12.000 proton spectra
May 14th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Databases, Open Access, Open Data, Open Science, Open Source, Publishing, Scientific Culture
The number of structures and spectra in NMRShiftDB now exceeds 31.000 and 35.000, respectively. The number of proton spectra alone is now 12.934. This is due to NMRShiftDB developer Stefan Kuhn in my group importing a recent donation from our collaborators Reinhard Dunkel and Heinz Kolshorn. Thanks to Heinz and Reinhard for their generosity.

ChemSpider aquired by the Royal Society of Chemistry
May 11th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Databases, Open Science, People, Scientific Culture
It’s going to be all over the place soon anyway, so I’ll make it short: The Royal Society of Chemistry has announced that it has aquired ChemSpider. This is great news and I’m confident that it will be a move to even more openess in chemistry and cheminformatics. It will also allow the RSC to [...]

Oliver Karch about Molwind – Using CDK to Visualize Molecule Spaces in a Geospatial Context
April 21st, 2009 · 3 Comments · Chemistry Development Kit, Chemoinformatics, Conferences and Meetings, Life of Chris, Open Science, People, Scientific Culture
Oliver Karch from Merck-Serono gave the last talk on Tuesday morning, showing how to visualize CDK to visualize molecular spaces in a way “as easy as Google Earth”. They us a workflow with Pipeline Pilot, a MolWind Server, which is Java and Apache based and then render 2D structures with CDK. The NASA Molwind client [...]
