Symyx Introduces Chemistry Data Cartridge
- Posted on 30 November 2009
Symyx Technologies has released the its Direct 6.3 chemistry data cartridge, which includes capabilities in the handling of non-specific Markush chemical structures.
It enables researchers to register, search and retrieve molecular structures and reactions stored in Oracle relational databases.
The Markush functionality supports combinatorial library design and patent claim analysis in drug discovery by expanding the techniques that are available for managing and exploring large numbers of related chemical substructures.
The chemistry cartridge is a central component of the chemistry engine underlying Symyx Notebook, Isentris and related scientific workflow applications.
The cartridge supports Rgroup, Sgroup, flexmatch, 2-D and 3-D exact and molecule substructure searching; structure similarity searching; reaction similarity searching; searching of tetrahedral stereoisomers and non-tetrahedral stereoisomers; storage and retrieval of sequences including peptides, oligonucleotides and oligosaccharides-and Markush structure storage, searching and retrieval.
