Traditional chemoinformatics involves the
use of software and databases, most of which are proprietary, and the ones that are
not require a level of expertise that cannot be acquired in a short time. Hence, this
practical will introduce you instead to some of the resources available on the internet
for viewing and manipulating molecules.

The practical involves visiting various web pages and trying out things. When you
open a link, it will open in a new window, so that the main text of the practical
remains visible. Try to follow the practical step by step but do not do it mechanically!
Try to understand what you are doing, and why you are doing it.
By all means, be adventurous and try your own stuff too, if you feel like it! |

Links to web pages will appear like this. Words appearing like
will pop-up windows (on clicking) with short explanations of a term
or a site (these are especially helpful to people doing the practical without having followed
the lecture). If you do not get a pop-up window, make sure that your browser's
preferences are set to allow it. Finally sentences like this are questions to
stop you from blindly following my directions and get you thinking a bit. There is not
necessarily one correct answer to these questions, and, of course, noone is going to mark you -just try
to use your brain. |
