ChemAxon launches Marvin and JChem version 5.2; Web Services, native 
.NET API, homology groups, 3D Alignment and Structural frameworks.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, April 15, 2009 -- ChemAxon, a software solutions 
provider for cheminformatics today announced the launch of version 5.2 
of their cheminformatics toolkits, Marvin & JChem. The release sees many 
new functionalities added, new integration options and improvements in 
search performance.

Marvin & JChem is a software suite of application programming interfaces 
(API’s) and graphic user interfaces (GUI’s) used by life science 
informatics architects and developers to build chemically aware, 
platform independent and web ready enterprise informatics systems. 
Marvin includes structure and reaction editing, visualization and 
structure based property prediction; JChem includes structure management 
and search, library enumeration and library profiling.

For structure based calculation new Calculator Plugins are added: 
Flexible 3D Alignment Plugin builds on our 3D expertise allowing 
multiple molecules to be aligned to each other and the Structural 
frameworks Plugin provides clustering capabilities, using various ring 
models and Bemis-Murcko. All Calculator Plugins are integrated and 
available throughout the JChem suite.

For developers we launch new integration interfaces: JChem Web Services 
provide SOAP access to JChem, extending the environments that can 
integrate JChem (C#, .NET, Javascript, Perl, Python, etc). A new native 
.NET API is made available for direct (bridgeless) access to the JChem 
API from .NET.

In the patent space we introduce new features for drawing and searching 
Markush structures, including support for homology groups and repeating 
units. Our Markush project works toward robust support for Chemical IP, 
including identification of overlap of Markush libraries without 
enumeration.

Developments of core search features include a new chemical hashed 
fingerprint to improve search performance and added support for polymer 
storage and search.
