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.

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 - format conversion
  • Bioclipse - a visual platform for chemical and bio-informatics.


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

Free information

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