A heads up for a conference on Chemical Biology in September 2010 at EMBL headquarters in the charming German city of Heidelberg. The dates are 22-25 September, and more details will shortly be available on the www.embl.de/conferences website. However, much like TACBAC 2010, we anticipate substantial interest in the conference, so I thought I'd highlight the conference early for you so you could mark your brand new 2010 diaries.
Followers of the ChEMBL group's activities and this blog will be aware of our involvement in the migration of the previously commercially available SureChem chemistry patent system, to a new, free-for-all system, known as SureChEMBL. Today we are very pleased to announce that the migration process is complete and the SureChEMBL website is now online. SureChEMBL provides the research community with the ability to search the patent literature using Lucene-based keyword queries and, much more importantly, chemistry-based queries. If you are not familiar with SureChEMBL, we recommend you review the content of these earlier blogposts here and here . SureChEMBL is a live system, which is continuously extracting chemical entities from the patent literature. The time it takes for a new chemical in the patent literature to become searchable in the SureChEMBL system is 1-2 days (WO patents can sometimes take a bit longer due to an additional reprocessing step).
