Annotation -
Chemistry Database Systems, first of all Chemical Abstracts, represent key tools for any really systematic and purposeful research studies in all chemistry disciplines, biochemistry, chemical engineering including border subjects between biology, medicine, metallurgy or general material engineering. Predominant subject is computer representation of chemical compounds and their structures in graphical form which influences all aspects of chemical information. So called reaction databases are a logical follow-up to this computer representation with specific problems. Exceptionally important are problems of chemical patents particularly in the field of pharmaceutical and closely related chemistry. The actual content of this subject will be continuously up-dated in accordance with permanent development of most important chemistry databases and search tools.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

Independently use the key tools for searching chemistry information, Chemical Abstracts with program SciFinder and databases Beilstein and Gmelin in system Reaxys besides of some other important information sources.

To draw compounds and reactions graphical structure using structure editors

To exploit possibility to search structure transformation/reaction in reaction modules of the above chemistry databases

Requirements to the exam - Czech

Zápočet je udělován na základě prokázané schopnosti samostatně pracovat s nejdůležitějšími chemickými bázemi dat, především Chemical Abstracts a systémem CrossFire na jednodušších příkladech modelujících praktickou situace chemika v reálných situacích. Podle situace mohou být během semestru zadány krátké testy potvrzující znalost klíčových pojmů a organizačního uspořádání chemických bází dat, poslední lekce je věnována samostatné a individuální realizaci konkrétního dotazu, který v každém případě bude zahrnovat typický úkol vyhledání informací týkající se chemické sloučeniny charakterizované různým způsobem včetně strukturního zadání.
