ISIS software

The first system designed to perform these basics was developed in 1989 [2]. In early 1990, a first version of 5000 entries was made available to the scientific community on an IBM PC DOS-based program ChemBase. Now, some 10 years later, the database has increased to several tens of thousands of entries, and the entire system can be searched with the powerful ISIS software [3] as rapidly as it was searched on the old computer systems. 

As already stated above, the database has been developed using ISIS software. The program operation is very simple, and about 30 min to learn the particular commands of this structure-searching program. ISIS provides both storage and retrieval of chemical structures. It is also possible to store text and numeric data into database entries. Because molecular structures are searchable in many ways, ISIS software is an excellent tool for exploiting data, and not simply archiving it.

ISi software, investigate tlje effects of the local atmospheric pressure and the emissivity of the wire on the critical heat flux and the temperature rise of wire. Let the at-mosph c pressure vary from 70 kPa to 101.3 kPa and the emissivity from O.I to 1.0. Plot the critical heat flux and the temperature rise as functions of the atmospheric pressure and the emissivity, and discuss the results. 

In addition, the catalytic cycles and the corresponding chemical parameters have been entered into a database of palladium-catalyzed reactions. As well as the various examples quoted in the publications, it is possible to view either the general catalytic cycle (RXN) related to each reference or all the chemical parameters related to a reaction number. For each reference, one or more examples have been selected with respect to the reaction. ISIS software (version 1.2) from MDL, EXCEL software (version 5.0c) and WORD software (version 6.0c) from MICROSOFT have been used. At the present time, this database is made available to many research centres by the Rhdne-Poulenc company. An example of the database form is shown over the page.

Chemists have been used to drawing chemical structures for more than a hundred years. Nowadays, structures are not only drawn on papei but they are also available in electronic form on a computer for publications, for presentations, or for the input and outptit with computer programs. For these applications, well-known software such as ISIS/Draw (MDL [31] or ChemWindow (Bio-Rad Sadtier [32]) arc used (see Section 2,12), The structures generated with these programs arc... 

Private (EPA) Databases. The U.S. EPA maintains a Hst of approximately 600 current information systems, as weU as some of the models and databases used within the organi2ation. The Hst is pubHshed in Information Systems Inventoy (ISI) which is updated yearly and maintained by the Information Management and Services Division of the Office of Information Resources Management (109). ISI Hsts the system name and acronym, system level, responsible organi2ation, contact person, legislative authorities, database descriptors, access information, hardware and software, system abstract, and keywords. 

Reaction control is temperature-based, with the system trying to attain the adjusted maximum temperature as rapidly as possible. When employing polar reaction mixtures with a high level of absorption, the output power can be limited to a maximum of 150 W to avoid overheating of the sample. The instmments of the Emrys series come with a comprehensive software package for the creation of protocols, including an ISIS draw surface for graphical description of the reactions. 

MDL Information Services, Inc. offers free software downloads at http // www.mdli.com/cgi/dynamic/downloadsect.html7uid= key= id = 1. These include AutoNom Standard (automatic nomenclature), which generates IUPAC chemical names directly from graphical structures created in ISIS/Draw or registered in ISIS/ Base. 

The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB-PDB at http //www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do is the online source for X-ray and NMR structural data. Many software programs mentioned in Section 4.5 include the facihty to visualize imported data however, two free software programs operate well in this regard. One is MDL Chime described previously in this section. Chime, a chemical structure visualization plug-in for Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator, supports a wide variety of molecule coordinate formats, including PDB (protein data bank), Molfile (from ISIS/Draw), MOP (MOPAC input hies), and GAU (Gaussian Input hies).

Alternately, the commercial molecular modeling software programs such as ChemOffice (http //www.camsoft.com) can be used. The ISIS draw in sketch format (struname.skc) is first converted to ChemDraw format (struname.cdx), which is then transformed into 3D structure (struname.c3d) with Chem 3D (Chapter 14) and saved as PDB format (struname.pdb).
