Chemical Informatics is the art and science of manipulating chemical structure, particularly in a biological context. Many but not all of us are mainly looking for new ligands for biological targets.

Data and directory services

  • DrugBank The DrugBank database is a unique bioinformatics and cheminformatics resource that combines detailed drug (i.e. chemical, pharmacological and pharmaceutical) data with comprehensive drug target (i.e. sequence, structure, and pathway) information. The database contains nearly 4300 drug entries including >1,000 FDA-approved small molecule drugs, 113 FDA-approved biotech (protein/peptide) drugs, 62 nutraceuticals and >3,000 experimental drugs. Additionally, more than 6,000 protein (i.e. drug target) sequences are linked to these drug entries. Each DrugCard entry contains more than 80 data fields with half of the information being devoted to drug/chemical data and the other half devoted to drug target or protein data.

Freeware

Most completely free software for chemical informatics is part of the Blue Obelisk Movement. We note some of these, as well as other packages, below:

  • JMol - so good, Nature picked it.
  • CDK - many of these packages, such as Bioclipse, make use of CDK.
  • OpenBabel/JOELib - format conversion
  • Bioclipse - a visual platform for chemical and bio-informatics.
  • Knime - a free Scitegic PipelinePilot style program
  • MayaChemTools - a growing collection of Perl scripts, modules, and classes to support day-to-day computational discovery needs

Freely Available Databases

  • KEGG
  • ChemDB @ UCI - public database of small molecules and related chemical informatics resources
  • SuperDrug - a conformational drug database
  • SuperNatural - searchable database of available natural compounds
  • SuperLigands - a PDB ligand database
  • BioMeta - a database of metabolites derived from KEGG
  • ChemBlast - a tool to find the same ligand in many PDB structures

Free to Academics engaged in non-commercial projects, etc.
