1. Chemistry Databases on the Web Gives an overview (with annotation) of all kinds of databases (general, 2D structure searchable, specific slasses of compounds, drug-related, disease-related, physical properties, spectra, toxicity and environmental, biomolecule, metabolic pathways) available on the web.
http://www.chembiogrid.org/related/resources/databases.html 2. Molecules of the Month (June 2007) Ethanol: used in beverages, as a solvent, a feed for producing other chemicals, and more recently a transportation fuel. Benzoyl Peroxide: used for dyeing hair, and as an active ingredient in teeth whitening systems. Gallic Acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid): found in gallnuts, sumac, witch hazel, tea leaves, oak bark etc. Lutein and Zeaxanthin: The chemistry and biology of the colourful carotenoids we eat as food, or which make the pigments in songbirds' feathers. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Eculizumab: approved as the first treatment ever for PNH (Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria). http://www.prous.com/molecules/default.asp?ID=156 3. Upcoming Organic Synthesis Conferences (July 2007) ChemEd007 Chemical Education conference 3rd International Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry 12th International Conference on Coordination and Organometallic Chemistry of Germanium, Tin and Lead Drug Discovery and Selection International Conference on Medicinal Chemistry - 43e Rencontres Internationales de Chimie Thérapeutique The First Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar on Ogranometallic Chemistry Heron Island Conference on Reactive Intermediates & Unusual Molecules LifeSciences2007 15th European Symposium on Organic Chemistry Modern Synthetic Methods - Reaction to Reality and CHIRAL USA 21st International Congress for Heterocyclic Chemistry First International Symposium on Combinatorial Sciences in Biology, Chemistry, Catalysts and Materials 20th International Symposium: Synthesis in Organic Chemistry ISHHC XIII: International Symposium on Relations between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis At ChemRank you can add a paper to the database and then vote whether you find it a good or bad paper. You can also leave comments critiquing the yield or congratulating the authors.
