Synthesis computer

CHEOPS (we tested Version 3.0.1) is a program for predicting polymer properties. It consists of two programs The analysis program allows the user to draw the repeat unit structure and will then compute a whole list of properties the synthesis program allows the user to specify a class of polymers and desired properties and will then try the various permutations of the functional groups to find ones that fit the requirements. On a Pentium Pro 200 system, the analysis computations were essentially instantaneous and the synthesis computations could take up to a few minutes. There was no automated way to transfer information between the two programs.

Blue and UV light from stellar populations is dominated by young, massive stars which also contribute the lion s share of the Z-elements ( metals ). Evolutionary synthesis computations show that, between the Lyman limit (912 A) and 2000 A or so, the spectrum expressed as Lv is more or less flat (Fig. 12.3). This leads to some rather simple considerations because Iv retains its value (and flatness) when the light is redshifted (see Eq. 12.1), because the degradation in energy is simply taken up by the factor dv on integration (Lilly Cowie 1987). 

Each screening center has medicinal and synthetic chemistry expertise in order to optimize hits identified from HTS campaigns and develop them into chemical probes. Specific capabilities vary, however typical strategies employed include parallel synthesis, computational and informatics analysis, and analytical capabilities such as LC/MS techniques. The structures of novel compounds that are prepared, their synthetic protocols, analytical data and biological data are all available, and samples of final probes developed are deposited into the MLSMR. A Working Group comprised of chemists from each center meets regularly to share information, best practices, and insure optimal use of resources.

One example of such a course is the Haverford Laboratory in Chemical Structure and Reactivity (146) that includes six projects, each of which involves sample preparation, sample analysis and some kind of determination of the properties of the substance prepared. The projects include organopalladium chemistry, porphyrin photochemistry, enantioselective synthesis, computer-aided modeling, enzyme kinetics and electron transfer reactions.

Clearly the engineer and the computer can complement each other, and one should be striving for synthesis tools where they do. Such a view of synthesis suggests that the right synthesis computer programs are those which permit the designer to put new heuristics into them as he or she (and very likely not the computer) discovers them.
