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.
