X Abstract

There is no particular point in time that determines when chemoinformatics was founded or established. It slowly evolved from several, often quite humble beginnings. Scientists in various fields of chemistry struggled with the development of computer methods which allowed them to manage the enormous amount of chemical information and to find relationships between the structure and properties of a compound. During the 1960s some early developments appeared that led to a flurry of activities in the 1970s. This review provides a general overview of basic methods in the specific fields of chemoinformatics, from encoding chemical compounds, storing and searching data in databases, to generating and analyzing these data. In addition, the chief interconnecting points of chemoinformatics applications are highlighted including the contributions of Johann Gasteiger to this field.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
