ChemAxon today announced the FreeWeb package, a free cheminformatics toolkit for non-commercial, public websites.
The FreeWeb package is designed to make the chemical information on such sites easier to access and provides tools that allow site visitors to explore and analyze the data.
“There is an increasing amount of chemically relevant content being made available publicly, online,” said Ferenc Csizmadia, CEO Of ChemAxon. “The FreeWeb package [helps make] that content more available and useful.” (Csizmadia’s comments came in a prepared statement.)
The FreeWeb package gives users tools to edit, view, search, calculate properties, and help manage a cheminformatics database. Specifically, the package includes the Marvin Java applet family of tools for creating chemical queries, viewing results, and ligand and macromolecular analysis. It also includes the JChem Base and JChem Cartridge for chemical searching and database management. Additional tools include the Standardiser, which allows for the creation of business rules for structure management, and Calculator Plugins, which give researchers a way to better understand a range of structure-based properties of the cheminformatics information on a site.
ChemAxon says that – like its approach with its free Academic Package (which lets academic researchers and teachers use all of the company’s products for free) – the idea behind the FreeWeb package is to increase the quality and capabilities of publicly accessible online chemical research resources.
