    Database for the Community

                         Antony Williams
     Duke University, September 17th 2012
We Have …Too Much Data!!!
The World of Online Chemistry
   Property databases
   Compound aggregators
   Screening assay results
   Scientific publications
   Encyclopedic articles (Wikipedia)
   Metabolic pathway databases
   ADME/Tox data – eTOX for example
   Blogs/Wikis and Open Notebook Science
   Contributing Open Source code to projects
ChemSpider
 The Free Chemical Database

 A central hub for chemists to source information
   >28 million unique chemical records
   Aggregated from >400 data sources
   Chemicals, spectra, CIF files, movies, images,
    podcasts, links to patents, publications,
    predictions

 A central hub for chemists to deposit & curate data
We Want to Answer Questions
 Questions a chemist might ask…
   What is the melting point of n-heptanol?
   What is the chemical structure of Xanax?
   Chemically, what is phenolphthalein?
   What are the stereocenters of cholesterol?
   Where can I find publications about xylene?
   What are the different trade names for Ketoconazole?
   What is the NMR spectrum of Aspirin?
   What are the safety handling issues for Thymol Blue?
I want to know about “Vincristine”
Vincristine: Identifiers and Properties
Vincristine: Vendors and Sources
Vincristine: Patents
Vincristine: Articles
ChemSpider : Spectra Linked
Sources of Spectra
 Sourced from online sources with permission

 Private collections

 The MAJORITY deposited by ChemSpider users
Data Uploading – YOU HELP
 Locate the structure of interest and deposit
  spectrum
Multiple Spectra for One Structure
ChemSpider ID 24528095 H1 NMR
ChemSpider ID 24528095 C13 NMR
ChemSpider ID 24528095 HHCOSY
Spectra Linked
CURATION Search “Vitamin H”
“Curate” Identifiers

ChemSpider Resources for Chemistry
Conclusions
 ChemSpider is a FREE resource for the community
 Grows daily with new data – do you have any to
  share?
 Concerned about data quality! YOU SHOULD BE!
 Crowdsourced and algorithmic curation is working
 API is available to access data – any informatics
  people want access??

 If you want hands on training I can come and give it
Thank you
