• My Open Laboratory 2007 submissions

    As promised , here is my list of submission for the Open Laboratory 2007:
  • Last Call for Open Laboratory 2007

    Pedro reminded me of the last call for Open Laboratory 2007, which prints the best blog items of 2007 in book form. The list of chemistry contributions is not so large yet, so go ahead and nominate some of cool chemical blog items of the last year.
  • One Billion Biochemical RDF Triples!

    That must be a record! Eric Jain wrote on public-semweb-lifesci:
  • JChemPaint too: PNG embedded connectivity tables

    Rich blogged about Firefly embedding MDL molfiles in PNG images, which I found really cool. Rich and Noel later showed how that metadata can be retrieved again, possibly with Python.
  • Automatic Classification of thousands of Crystal Structures

    Clustering and classification of crystal structures is hot. Parkin hit the front cover of CrystEngComm with a story on Comparing entire crystal structures: structural genetic fingerprinting (DOI:10.1039/b704177b). Now, the story itself, while rather interesting and well written, has three major flaws:
  • Dapagliflozin: the molecular structure

    An anonymous reader reported that the American Medical Association published the structure of dapagliflozin. Here are the details.
  • Operator 0.8 released: a new Sechemtic user script

    Mike released Operator 0.8, which picks up RDF (RDFa en eRDF) from HTML pages, and adds actions to it. I blogged earlier about the beta and wrote a script for it for chemical RDFa. At this moment, Chemical blogspace and RDF for Molecular Space (see this blog) are using chemical RDFa to semantically markup molecular information.
