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. less than 1 minute read

One Billion Biochemical RDF Triples!

That must be a record! Eric Jain wrote on public-semweb-lifesci: less than 1 minute read

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. 1 minute read

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: 2 minute read

Dapagliflozin: the molecular structure

An anonymous reader reported that the American Medical Association published the structure of dapagliflozin. Here are the details. less than 1 minute read
