Speaking of MOTMs, with the scheme as it currently stands (one new molecule a month) the deadline for the next MOTM submission will be March 1st. Any takers...?
I wonder how we might check to see if a MOTM is operating in the USA? I do remember seeing something some time ago. Might be a) nice to link if there is b) Nice to act as a global centre if there is not! Might I also suggest that we try to make available 3D coordinates for each molecule. Initially, these could be pdb, and we would need to describe the chemical/x-pdb MIME type to people so that they can configure their browser accordingly. Shortly, we expect to introduce Java Applets as well (see http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/clic/pop.html) so that the images will not necessarily need a separate program and its configuration. If anyone wants to use other properties (JCAMP for NMR spectra; by the way, Bruker software will write out NMR spectra in JCAMP format, Smiles strings, etc etc) please let us know so that we can all document what has been done.
