DSSTox distributed structure-searchable

DSSTox Distributed Structure-Searchable Toxicity Database Network. Distributed toxicity databases, which is focused on structure search, upload and the standardization of the structural information associated with toxicity data http //www.epa. gov/ncct/dsstox/index.html... 

A second initiative is being developed by Dr. Ann Richard and coworkers at the EPA. The Distributed Structure-Searchable Toxicity (DSSTox) public database network is a flexible community-supported, web-based approach for the collation of data. It is based on the SDF format for the representation of chemical structure. It is intended to enable decentralized, free public access to toxicity data files. This should allow users from different disciplines to be linked. Public, commercial, industry, and academic groups have also been asked to contribute to, and expand, the DSSTox public database network. Data from potentially any toxicological endpoint can be collated in the DSSTox public database network, including both human health, and environmental endpoints (Richard et al 2002 Richard and Williams, 2002).

The Distributed Structure-Searchable Toxicity (DSSTox) Database Network is a public database containing more than 1000 molecules annotated with toxicity data. The database can be searched online. The chemical structures can also be downloaded from the web site for analysis (vide infra).
