March 24th 2007: ChemZoo Announce the Release of the ChemSpider Service. OVER 10 MILLION COMPOUNDS ONLINE RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA -- March 24th, 2007 -- ChemZoo, Inc. today announced the launch of their ChemSpider Service (www.chemspider.com) an online resource for chemists to search, aggregate and data mine publicly available chemical data. At time of release over 10 million compounds are indexed in the ChemSpider database including the PubChem collection and data provided by a number of other collaborators. ChemSpider has produced a value-added offering of the publicly available chemical structure databases by adding additional predicted property information generated as a result of their collaborations with property prediction software providers including Advanced Chemistry Development, ACD/Labs. By delivering access to an aggregated database collection of over 10 million structures as well as access to transaction based predictions of systematic identifiers and physicochemical predictions ChemSpider hopes to position itself as one of the premier open access websites for chemists to access information. At the time of beta release structure and substructure searching are not available but should be released within the next few days. The beta release was timed to coincide with the Spring ACS meeting.

Fwd: [Jmol-users] BioMolecular Explorer 3D, version 2 - in Jmol

04 Jan '07

Apologies for anyone receiving this from other mail lists. I believe it represents a seminal moment for opensource software (Chime never was such). >Dear Colleagues, > >Eric Martz and I are happy to announce version 2 of the BioMolecular Explorer 3D web site, (designed to supplement a secondary school biology curriculum) which uses Jmol in place of Chime to present macromolecular structures and tutorials. This simplifies the process of using the resources in teaching by eliminating the browser restrictions and software download and installation steps associated with Chime. To visit the site, go to > ><http://www.umass.edu/molvis/bme3d>http://www.umass.edu/molvis/bme3d > >The original 11 molecules selected for the site are now presented in FirstGlance in Jmol. The site has been expanded to include links to some general categories, such as proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, as presented by the Biomodel web site of Angel Herraez (who also kindly converted the DNA tutorial to Jmol). A few tutorials that use Chime and have not yet been adapted for Jmol can still be accessed at version 1 of the site (linked from the BME3D Welcome page). > >Coming soon - the updated BME3D web site on CD. > >Best wishes for the new year, >Frieda > >/////////////////////////////////////////// > > >Frieda Reichsman, PhD > >Molecules in Motion > >Interactive Molecular Structures > ><http://www.moleculesinmotion.com>http://www.moleculesinmotion.com > >_______________________________________________ >Jmol-users mailing list >Jmol-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jmol-users -- Henry Rzepa. +44 (020) 7594 5774 (Voice); +44 (0870) 132 3747 (eFax); rzepahs(a)mac.com (iChat) http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/ Dept.

MDL European Users Group meeting

02 Jan '07

(Apologies for duplicates caused by posting to multiple lists) A number of vendors advertise their meetings on listservers (and indeed I post them on http://warr.com/meetings.html, if I am notified) so I am taking the liberty of drawing subscribers attention to this one which I think is not likely to be posted by the vendor. Registration is open for the Elsevier MDL European Users Group 2007 meeting to be held in Strasbourg, France on February 26 and 27. http://www.mdl.com/company/events/user_conferences/2007/eugm07/index.jsp The theme is "delivering innovation on a solid foundation": using proven technologies to improve R&D productivity by integrating workflow and content throughout the value chain. This year, the program has been streamlined into just two days of packed programming and networking, and includes a keynote presentation given by Dr. Kurt Wüthrich, the recipient of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, plenary talks from customers and Elsevier MDL staff (note that there are more user talks than MDL talks), scheduled product demonstrations, a welcome reception and a conference dinner at La Cour de Honau. Day 1 Lars Barfod - President and CEO, Elsevier MDL Dr. Kurt Wüthrich - Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Holger Shimanski - Bayer Business Services Dr. Hanoch Senderowicz - Predix Pharmaceuticals Dr. Ulrich Jordis - Technische Universität Vienna Dr. Phil McHale - VP, Solutions Product Management, Elsevier MDL Mr. Gaerd Pauwels, European Patent Office Dr. Paolo Pevarello - CNIO Madrid Day 2 Dr. Trevor Heritage, Chief Scientific Officer, Elsevier MDL Dr. Thomas Arnhold - Boehringer Ingelheim Dr. Luca Sartori (Genextra) Dr. Gerhard Mihm, Boehringer Ingelheim Wendy Dr. Wendy A.
