• Digital technologies introduced new challenges for the communication of chemical information
• Databases used [often proprietary] registry lookup identifiers that made correlation of chemical information difficult
•. Non-canonical line notations resulted in redundant structural representations that complicated information processing.
• Chemical nomenclature needed to be extended to the digital representation of chemical structural information
Digital Representation of Chemicals: Hack-a-Mol
A structure such as caffeine can be drawn in 2D, compared with its 3D structure, and also view its structured data in a variety of formats. It can also be entered through a variety of chemical identifiers: a chemical name, a SMILES string, or a Chemical Abstracts Register Number, for instance.
InChI: 1S/C8H10N4O2/c1-10-4-9-6-5(10)7(13)12(3)8(14)11(6)2/h4H,1-3H3

Tautomerizer – Introduction
Introduction | Form | Individual Rule Pages | Rules Sources | Help
Experimental service that allows you to test a set of tautomeric transforms with your own molecules. The predefined set of transforms comprises both the current 20 standard rules used by the chemoinformatics toolkit CACTVS and 45+ additional rules compiled in the context of the IUPAC project “Redesign of the Handling of Tautomerism in InChI V2”8.
Web tool created by the NCI CADD Group in the context of the InChI project “Redesign of the Handling of Tautomerism in InChI V2”. https://upac.ora/projects/project-details/?proiect+n=2012-023-2-8008
