Significance and Opportunity of Cheminformatics in Chemistry
Abstract
The history of chemoinformatics is studied in a decade-by-decade mode from the 1940s to the present-day. The emphasis is placed on four traditional research areas: chemical database systems, computer-assisted structure elucidation systems, computer-assisted synthesis design systems, and 3D structure builders. Considering the fact that computer technology has been one of the major driving forces of the development of chemoinformatics, each section will start from a brief description of the new advances in computer technology of each decade. The summary and future prospects are given in the last section. Keywords: chemical database systems, chemical space, 3D, technologyReferences
