Most Used Chemistry Databases. Advances in Chemical Biology

Original language description

With today's explosive growth in the amount of information available, the ability to search for the necessary information is one of the basic knowledge that each scientist must master. In addition to the basic search techniques already used by almost everybody in everyday life, such as keyword search in an online search engine, there are a number of techniques in the chemistry field that are no longer as simple or obvious. Search by chemical identifiers is probably the closest to the simple keyword search, with the difference that chemical identifiers are a little more difficult to think out. But a number of freely available programs already know how to generate these identifiers if we can specify the structure of the compound (eg ChemSketch or MarvinSketch ). The most difficult part in finding information about chemical compounds or their chemical transformations is the search by structure or substructure. Less common is also searching in structured databases according to chemical, physical or biological properties of chemical compounds. From commercial chemical database sources, Reaxys , SciFinder and Web of Science (WoS) are the most popular and most used web applications in which the above search engines are possible and which will be discussed in more detail. A comparison of the search possibilities of these three sources was published recently in J. Chem. Educ. This article will describe the types of databases used in chemistry and the search capabilities of the most important commercial tools and is a follow up of the recently published review. It will also provide an overview of alternative freely accessible web chemical resources that may in some cases replace commercial sources. In conclusion, the advantages and disadvantages of the described databases will be summarized and recommended methods for their optimal use.
