The National Chemical Database Service recently held two webinars about the functionality of ACD/I-Lab, one of the resources available free to all UK academics via the NCDS.
These videos are now available to watch on our YouTube channel:
Webinar 1: NMR Predictions and drawing tools
Webinar 2: PhysChem, ADME and Tox prediction, and Name generation
Thanks to Dimitris Argyropoulos for hosting these and explaining the capabilities of ACD/I-Lab.
We’ve just updated the NCDS to the all-new DETHERM website – try it out now
With 8.9 million data sets relating to 44,200 pure compounds and 139,400 mixtures, DETHERM is an invaluable resource for researchers in chemistry and related fields. This update features a much-improved search system and user interface, making it easier for you to search the DETHERM database of thermophysical properties.
The Available Chemicals Directory has pricing and supplier information for 3.2 million unique chemicals from over 800 suppliers. We’ve made several improvements to our search interface to help you get the most out of this resource:
Search the Available Chemicals Directory via the NCDS
Substructure search makes finding the chemicals you need simple – and don’t forget that you can add explicit hydrogens to your search query to specify unsubstituted carbon centres.
We’ve put together a new video to introduce the National Chemical Database Service – take a look and let us know what you think!
The ADME-Tox predictive features of ACD/I-Lab are now available through the National Chemical Database Service on a trial basis. These features include industry-leading algorithms for predicting ADME properties such as bioavailability and absorption, as well as toxicity properties such as LD50. A full list of predictive modules available through ACD/I-Lab can be found on ACD/Labs’ website.
Access to ACD/I-Lab is provided free to all UK academics by the NCDS.
This trial will run until the end of July 2015, after which we will use the results of the trial to determine whether ADME-Tox features should be be permanently included as an NCDS resource. If NCDS access to these features is useful for your research, please let us know your thoughts to help us understand the value of this resource to the UK academic community.
