managing and advancing scientific developments

chemistry life sciences drug discovery chemical data time

fundamental domains in chemistry chemical synthesis structure elucidation structure  property and activity compounds

combinatorial chemistrycomputational chemistry 20 starting molecules final products

chemical informatics for chemistry collection and storage data acquisition and processing representation and organization databases and data sources retrieval structure and reaction searching similarity searching analysis calculations of:  physical data  chemical data  structure descriptors data analysis methodologies  machine learning  statistics  data mining, etc.

chemistry in the life and health sciences chemical biology small molecule chemistry high throughput screening

application of chemistry to study molecular events in biological systems

chemicals that can affect protein function and physiology very nicely small molecule chemistry study biological mechanisms and pathways estimated – possible compounds

high throughput screening robots to perform bioactivity experiments

informatics infrastructure NIH Chemical Genomics Center Molecular Libraries Screening Centers Network (MLSCN)

drug discovery target identification elucidate disease mechanism and elements  role for small molecules lead optimization optimize chemical structure lead finding test chemicals on biological systems

organize data data collection, analysis, and management data representation and communication database design and organization compound classification and selection analyze data database searching molecular similarity and diversity analysis statistical models and descriptors in chemistry structure-activity/property relationships make predictions chemical structure and property prediction prediction of in vivo compound characteristics virtual screening facilitate experimental work compound or library design and optimization information theory applied to chemical problems chemical informatics for drug discovery

review chemical informatics information science and technology to solve chemical problems generating more chemical data and needs: combinatorial chemistry computational chemistry chemical biology small molecule chemistry high throughput screening drug discovery manage growth to increase chemical knowledge

opportunities for library professionals

library participation in data acquisition and sharing information management information use

challenge data capture and sharing needs improvement solutions study data storage and sharing develop tools/methods facilitate data sharing:  education  personal websites  repositories  databanks: ChemBank, PubChem data acquisition and sharing

challenges information storage and retrieval integration of data and information  between resources  between disciplines  smart instruments openness information management

information management solutions education on integrated and open systems common standards open access chemical markup language

information management solutions facilitating lab informatics library resource customization

information management solutions integrated and customized search/retrieval metasearch resources linkages subject guides/portals

information management solutions digital repositories DSpace  SPECTRa  WorldWideMolecularMatrix help faculty deposit content

challenges awareness of resources data analysis computational chemistry solutions promote resources promote software tools specialized/in-context user services information use
