InforSense launches latest version of ChemScience module

InforSense Ltd, the leading provider of Open Discovery Workflow™ informatics platforms, launched the latest version of its powerful ChemScience module at the 228th American Chemistry Society (ACS) National Meeting, in Philadephia, USA . Highlights included new library design and enhanced chemical structure handling, browsing and search capabilities, including sketch and search in deployed applications via the Discovery Portal.

The ChemScience module integrates industry-standard Java components provided by ChemAxon (www.chemaxon.com ): Marvin, JChem Base, Standardizer, Screen, Reactor and pKa, LogP, LogD, elemental analysis structure based Calculation Plugins. Scientists can easily build cheminformatics solutions as they require by selecting data sources, supplied components, external tools and web services, integrating them within a single unified cheminformatics infrastructure. The resulting reusable applications match the way they want to work, enhancing their productivity.

Further close integration with InforSense bioinformatics and literature mining capabilities produces efficient informatics solutions able to handle complex research issues, previously very time-consuming. Indeed, multidisciplinary teams can now have seamless access to highly sophisticated and tailored solutions through the portal.

“Adding ChemScience with ChemAxon’s powerful components to the InforSense Knowledge Discovery Environment provides scientists with a single open, scalable and extensible environment to streamline cheminformatics,” said Dr François Gilardoni, Head of Cheminformatics, InforSense. “With the ability to include bioinformatics and text mining capabilities, InforSense technology is uniquely positioned for running multidisciplinary projects from inception to delivery, eventually accessible through the portal.”

“The implementation of ChemAxon’s Java-based cheminformatics toolkits within InforSense’s workflow technology gives researchers a straightforward process based method to select, configure and combine ChemAxon’s toolkit to solve common chemical problems for structure storage, visualization, design, screening, synthesis and property prediction,” added Dr Ferenc Csizmadia, CEO of ChemAxon.
