National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) Adopts ChemAxon Ltd. JChem Base for Japanese Consortium for Glycobiology and Glycotechnology Database (JCGGDB)
JChem Base is a tool for the development of cheminformatics applications allowing storage and search of structural and non-structural data. JChem Base can handle molecules, reactions, polymers, Markush and query structural contents. JChem Base will integrate a variety of database systems with web interfaces and offer high performance searches including substructure, similarity, exact, and superstructure searches. The system includes Marvin, a family of toolkits and graphic user interfaces for editing, viewing and visualizing chemical structures and macromolecules.
"We are honored to work with AIST in this ground breaking project, we expect the full potential of our functionality to bring new possibilities and value to users", said Alex Drijver, CEO of ChemAxon.
"We are very pleased for the JChem technology to be adopted for the portal of glycotechnology.", added Fumiaki Aruga, COO of Patcore, ChemAxon's exclusive commercial agent in Japan.
