Medical and scientific publishing house Thieme Publishing Group has released Science of Synthesis 4.8 with Name-to-Structure Functionality and 1,000 Pages of New Content.
With its latest release of the unique full-text resource Science of Syntheses (SOS), Thieme introduces a name-to-structure functionality that allows users to generate chemical structures from names. In addition to a new 'Hit Select/Deselect' option, SOS 4.8 also includes two new update volumes comprising approximately 1,000 printed pages.
Combining a dictionary-based and an algorithmic approach, the name-to-structure functionality generates chemical structures from their names. Users merely need to type in the name of the chemical and the new functionality delivers the corresponding structure. The name-to-structure tool uses InfoChem's comprehensive dictionary of over 28 million chemical names corresponding to more than 13 million unique structures. While the majority of the names in the dictionary are in English and German, it also includes the names of common chemicals in a variety of other languages. The new functionality offers users great flexibility, as it can process names based on systematic nomenclature as well as trade, trivial, and semi-systematic names.
The latest release of Science of Synthesis includes two new Knowledge Update volumes representing approximately 1,000 printed pages. Full-text and structure/reaction searching, as well as downloadable chapter PDFs, is available for all content. The updating process for Science of Synthesis is guided by strict criteria to ensure that only the best and most reliable synthetic methods are included. New content will continually be added to the digital version, which prevails as the most up-to-date evaluated digital reference work available, reflecting the latest developments in synthetic methodology.
To improve the processing of generated hit lists, SOS 4.8 offers a range of options for selecting and deselecting hits. This allows users to refine their hit lists more conveniently and represents yet another user-friendly feature of the resource.
