For those of you who use the safari browser as part of your normal work, Matt Swain has written a plugin that you might find useful. You simply highlight words within a page, right-click, and then a box pops up with the option to search chembl for that chemical structure (using the selected text as the query). Matt also wrote similar plugins for ChemSpider, PubChem and OPSIN. These, and more, are available here. Thanks Matt!
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). At time of writi
