ChEMBL database as linked open data

An ongoing project converting data from the ChEMBL database into RDF triples. The ChEMBL-RDF resource creates a foundation for integrated semantic web cheminformatics applications.

The genetics and neuroscience of flavour

This new article collection explores how the fields of genetics and neuroscience are beginning to impact on our understanding of flavour experience, how it is produced and what underpins individual differences.

Silver nanoparticles in soils

Speciation results are acquired using a silver ion selective electrode in 3 soils. The study differentiates free silver ions from silver in the <0.45 µm fraction in soil solution and helps us understand how nanosilver reacts in soils.

Effects of hydration on parchment artefacts

This review discusses the need to understand the effects of relative humidity on parchment and the current understanding of parchment structure and hydration. It also provides a critical evaluation of the body of foregoing research investigating the effects of relative humidity on parchment artefacts.

Removing markers from transgenic plants

Yuan-Yeu Yau and C Neal Stewart review existing strategies to remove selectable marker genes from transgenic plants, including site specific recombination systems, and explore emerging technologies for increased precision genome modification.

Connecting chemical structures with chemicalize

This work demonstrates the utility of chemicalize.org for the exploration of chemical structure connectivity between documents and databases, including structure searches in PubChem, InChIKey searches in Google and the chemicalize.org archive
