ChemSketch integrates to Chmoogle, an open-access chemistry search engine indexing all of the public chemical information in the world and making it available to the public for free.
Advanced Chemistry Development, (ACD/Labs) has integrated both its commercial and freeware ChemSketch applications to the Chmoogle website.
Created by eMolecules, Chmoogle is an open-access chemistry search engine with the mission to discover, curate, and index all of the public chemical information in the world, and make it available to the public for free.
Chmoogle distinguishes itself by extremely fast searches, an appealing presentation of results, high-quality chemical drawings, and powerful advanced search capabilities like persistent hitlists and hitlist logic operations.
ACD/Labs has integrated Chmoogle to the commercial ChemSketch software and freeware software now downloaded by over 530,000 scientists around the world.
This integration gives ChemSketch users direct access to Chmoogle's structure and substructure searches.
"The world's knowledge in chemistry is an invaluable resource", said Klaus Gubernator, eMolecule's chief executive officer.
"It lies dormant until it becomes searchable by every chemist.
"The language of chemistry is chemical structures.
"Chmoogle makes the world's chemistry searchable by structure.
"Just draw a molecule using your favourite structure drawing tool and hit Go.
"We are very intrigued by the clever integration of structure drawing and searching in Chmoogle that ACD/Labs is providing and we are even more excited about the fact that it is free for chemists around the world".
Antony Williams, VP and chief science officer for ACD/Labs, adds: "The mission of Chmoogle to discover, curate, and index all public chemical information in the world and make it available for free is a worthy mission.
"The intention of ACD/Labs to provide a chemical structure drawing package to every chemist in the world at no charge via our freeware ChemSketch downloads is just as worthy.
"We are happy to provide an integrated solution between ChemSketch and Chmoogle to allow users to sketch molecules at their desktop and view their results via a web browser.
It is our hope that sketching and Chmoogling will deliver value to chemists around the world".
Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD/Labs) is a chemistry software company offering products that it says truly integrate chemical structures with analytical chemistry information to produce chemanalytics.
ACD/Labs creates innovative software packages that aid chemical research scientists worldwide with spectroscopic validation of structures, elucidation of unknown substances, chromatographic separation, medicinal chemistry, preformulation of novel drug agents, systematic nomenclature generation, and chemical patenting and publication.
Combined, ACD/Labs's products create an analytical informatics system that provides dramatic feed-forward effects on the chemical and pharmaceutical research process.
Founded in 1993, and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, ACD/Labs employs a team of over 100 dedicated individuals whose continual efforts carry ACD/Labs's technologies into pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical, and materials companies throughout the world.
eMolecules, the chemistry internet company, has built what it says is the world's most powerful chemistry search engine.
Its first product, the chmoogle website, is described as the leading open-access chemistry internet site, created by continuously indexing all of the public chemical information in the world.
Chmoogle is attracting most of the chemistry-related internet traffic by industrial and academic decision makers, says eMolecules.
