We are pleased to announce the release of the newly enhanced ChemDraw/ChemOffice 18 product offering, providing chemists and biologists with a unique and powerful collection of scientifically intelligent personal productivity tools. ChemDraw/ChemOffice 18 contains all the same rich and chemically aware features and functionality that ChemDraw is known for as well as the following new capabilities:
- Integration with Elsevier® Reaxys® – a global leader in chemical information search. The partnership offers two benefits: the first, the availability of ChemDraw JS as a drawing editor on the Reaxys website (effective June 2018), and the second, a new search integration from ChemDraw into Reaxys, similar to the “Search into SciFinder” capability (originally introduced back in ChemDraw version 14).
- On the theme of integrations, ChemDraw and ChemOffice 18.0 go beyond chemical drawing and bring new, time-saving capabilities to users in the form of the ChemACX Explorer Add-in, delivered through the flexible architecture of ChemOffice. Originally developed on Signals Notebook, ChemACX Explorer offers instant search and retrieve vendor, property and safety information from the comfort of ChemDraw.
- Hierarchical Editing Language for Macromolecules (HELM) is becoming an industry standard for the representation of complex biopolymers (peptides, nucleic acids, antibody-drug conjugates etc.). After implementing a new HELM toolbar in ChemDraw 17.0, a HELM library management capability is now available to browse, curate, copy and access common, corporate libraries.
