Dictionary of Fine Chemicals

ChemCore module to three-dimensionalize 2D structures, interfaces to reformat MACCS, SMILES, or DARC-2D databases, ChemDBS-1 module to build 3D databases, and ChemDBS-3D module to search 3D databases. Database searching accounts for conformational flexibility while storing only one conformation. Chapman 8c Hall s 3D Dictionary of Drugs (12,000 medicinally interesting compounds), 3D Dictionary of Natural Products (50,000 antibiotics, alkaloids, and terpenoids), and 3D Dictionary of Fine Chemicals (105,000 organics). 

A module of the CHEM-X modelling system (see modelling section). Storage and retrieval of two- and three-dimensional structures with substructure-search capability. Available databases include Chapman Hall Dictionary of Drugs (15,000 compounds). Chapman Hall Dictionary of Fine Chemicals (120,000 small organics). Chapman Hall Dictionary of Natural Products (54,000), Derwent Standard Drug File (31,000 biologically active compounds), ChemReact (370,000 reaction types) and others. 

The first of the accessory food factors to be isolated and identified was found to be chemictdly an amine therefore, in 1912, Funk coined the term vitamine, from the Latin vita for life and eimine, for the prominent chemictd reactive group. Although subsequent accessory growth factors were not found to be amines, the name has been retained-with the loss of the fined -e to avoid chemical confusion. The decision as to whether the word should correctly be pronounced vitamin or veiteimin depends in leuge part on which system of Latin pronunciation one learned - the Oxford English Dictionary permits both.
