E-Database

ChemExper : Find a supplier for your specialty chemical needs. Search by structure, name, molecular formula, and CAS Number. After finding you compound, get an offer from one or more suppliers. I can't vouch for how this works in practice, but it sounds like a good idea.

 

The EBI Search engine: also known as EB-eye, is a scalable text search engine that provides easy and uniform access to the biological data resources hosted at the EMBL-EBI.The data resources represented in the EBI Search engine include: nucleotide and protein sequences at both the genomic and proteomic levels, structures ranging from chemicals to macro-molecular complexes, gene-expression experiments, binary level molecular interactions as well as reaction maps and pathway models, functional classifications, biological ontologies, and comprehensive literature libraries covering the biomedical sciences and related intellectual property.

 

ChemSpider : is a free chemical structure database providing fast access to over 30 million structures, properties and associated information.

It is owned by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

 

PubChem : The granddaddy of all free chemistry databases. Search over 8 million compounds by a variety of criteria. Although some PubChem records are linked into the primary literature through MeSH, most are not. But this doesn't seem to be PubChem's true calling. Instead, PubChem may well evolve into the world's largest online collection of molecular data sheets. Increasingly, the other databases in this list are cross-referencing their entries into PubChem. PubChem's entire database can be downloaded by FTP. CAS Registry are correct to see PubChem as the first real competition they've had in decades.

 

CHEBI :"A freely available dictionary of molecular entities focused on ‘small’ chemical compounds."

Records can be searched by structure, chemical shift and nucleus. NMRShiftDB is truly open; it can be accessed programmatically and the source code for the software that runs the online database can be freely downloaded. Individual users can submit their own spectral shifts for peer review and subsequent inclusion.

 

Network Science Corporation : a non-profit organization, was founded to assist in science education by supporting the development of science and technology, by facilitating the timely exchange of information as a means of enhancing professional development, and by fostering public awareness of advances in the therapeutic management of diseases.

 

ChemconnectorThe domain of Chemical Information contains to gain in importance as scientists expand in their dexterity and understanding of how to more fully utilize both public domain and commercial tools in their work. The development of the internet has certainly been catalytic in providing new approaches to the dissemination of chemical information but has also enabled improved methods for networking and the distribution of data, knowledge and understanding.
