What is Cheminformatics?
• It encompasses the design, creation,
organisation, management, retrieval, analysis,
dissemination, visualization and use of chemical
information
• It is the mixing of information resources to
transform data into information and information
into knowledge, for the intended purpose of
making better decisions faster in the arena of
drug lead identification and optimization
What is Cheminformatics?
• “the set of computer algorithms and tools
to store and analyse chemical data in the
context of drug discovery and design
projects”
• Cheminformatics is the application of
informatics methods to solve chemical
problems
