C571 Chemical Information Technology Objectives
Updated: 30 September 2001
C571 Chemical Information Technology is designed to give you an overview of
chemical informatics techniques, including chemical information and data
systems, chemical structure and data representation, chemical search systems,
and at least a cursory look at related bioinformatics techniques.
You should leave the course with a broad understanding of the computational
techniques for processing databases of chemical and biological structural
information. Covered in the course are:
- Representation and searching of 2D and 3D chemical structures
- The role of chemical nomenclature in modern computer-based systems
- Chemical patent searching
- Commercial database systems
- Reaction databases
- Spectral and crystallographic databases
- Bioinformatics
