Study Notes
-
Chemoinformatics uses computers and computer programs to manage and analyze large chemical datasets.
-
Central concepts in chemoinformatics: Structure-activity relationships (SAR), quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), and substructure searching are core concepts. Molecular descriptors, 2D and 3D molecular structure representation, and database management are also central.
-
Abbreviation for CHEMICAL INFORMATICS: Chemoinformatics
-
Purpose of structure searching: To identify molecules with similar structures to a target molecule within a large database. This aids in drug discovery and materials science by suggesting candidates with similar properties.
-
Chemical genomics: The study of the relationships between genes and chemical compounds, often within a biological context, such as the interactions between small molecules and cellular targets.
-
2D molecular structure representation and manipulation: A subfield of chemoinformatics focusing on representing molecules in two dimensions for computational analysis and database storage. Software often supports manipulation and searching based on these 2D representations.
-
Frank Brown's 1998 contribution: Coined the term "Chemoinformatics".
-
Purpose of structure-activity relationships (QSAR): To predict the biological activity of molecules based on their chemical structures. This helps prioritize compounds for synthesis and testing, improving efficiency in drug development.
-
Purpose of substructure searching: To identify molecules containing specific structural fragments or substructures within a database. This helps identify compounds with a desired functionality or potential for certain interactions. It's related to structure searching but more specific.
-
Chemical genomics (repeated): The study of the relationship between genes and chemical compounds, particularly focusing on interactions between small molecules and biological systems at a genetic level.
