How can we help? |
|
| |
Although Digital
Chemistry is not specifically a consultancy organisation, we are very fortunate to employ renowned
chemical informatics researchers and we offer our
expertise on a contract basis to help clients that
require more than our off-the-shelf product range. Our expertise is in chemical informatics and includes the application of chemical fingerprinting, clustering and diversity analysis to the handling of combinatorial libraries. We are also at the forefront of research into the representation of Markush structures and their application to both combinatorial libraries and chemical patents. |
| |
The
range of consultancy projects we undertake includes: |
|
| |
- Feasibility studies
- Technical report writing
- Reviews of system design
- Customisation of existing Digital Chemistry
applications
- Integration of Digital Chemistry components
into clients' own systems
- Contract research and development
- Bespoke systems production
- Abstracting, page makeup & database building

the representation of chemical entities.
- A report detailing a number of clustering
techniques and their relevance to a particular
client's needs.
- Assistance with the design of an RDBMS-based
inventory system, including a report detailing
search and retrieval strategies.

Software
Projects |
|
| |
- Addition of stereochemical features to Markush
structure representations of combinatorial libraries,
input using an interface to Accelrys' Accord
SDK.
- Development of software for building Markush
structure representations of combinatorial libraries,
expressed as sequences of generic reactions
and sets of precursor molecules.
- Investigation and implementation of methods
for extracting and scoring useful partitions
from cluster hierarchies.
- Implementation of software to add new compounds
to an existing clustering of a large dataset,
without the need for re-clustering.
- Development of software for analysis of the
distribution of "within- cluster"
and "between-cluster" distances in
a clustered dataset.
