Open Babel: An open chemical toolbox

Noel M. O’Boyle, Michael Banck, Craig A. James et al. · 7 Oct 2011

BACKGROUND: A frequent problem in computational modeling is the interconversion of chemical structures between different formats. While standard interchange formats exist (for example, Chemical Markup Language) and de facto standards have arisen (for example, SMILES format), the need to interconvert formats is a continuing problem due to the multitude of different application areas for chemistry…

Avogadro: an advanced semantic chemical editor, visualization, and analysis platform

Marcus D. Hanwell, Donald Curtis, David Lonie et al. · 13 Aug 2012

BACKGROUND: The Avogadro project has developed an advanced molecule editor and visualizer designed for cross-platform use in computational chemistry, molecular modeling, bioinformatics, materials science, and related areas. It offers flexible, high quality rendering, and a powerful plugin architecture. Typical uses include building molecular structures, formatting input files, and analyzing output of a wide variety of…

TCMSP: a database of systems pharmacology for drug discovery from herbal medicines

Jinlong Ru, Peng Li, Jinan Wang et al. · 16 Apr 2014

BACKGROUND: Modern medicine often clashes with traditional medicine such as Chinese herbal medicine because of the little understanding of the underlying mechanisms of action of the herbs. In an effort to promote integration of both sides and to accelerate the drug discovery from herbal medicines, an efficient systems pharmacology platform that represents ideal information convergence…

Estimation of synthetic accessibility score of drug-like molecules based on molecular complexity and fragment contributions

Peter Ertl, Ansgar Schuffenhauer · 10 Jun 2009

BACKGROUND: A method to estimate ease of synthesis (synthetic accessibility) of drug-like molecules is needed in many areas of the drug discovery process. The development and validation of such a method that is able to characterize molecule synthetic accessibility as a score between 1 (easy to make) and 10 (very difficult to make) is described…

Why is Tanimoto index an appropriate choice for fingerprint-based similarity calculations?

Dávid Bajusz, Anita Rácz, Károly Héberger · 19 May 2015

BACKGROUND: Cheminformaticians are equipped with a very rich toolbox when carrying out molecular similarity calculations. A large number of molecular representations exist, and there are several methods (similarity and distance metrics) to quantify the similarity of molecular representations. In this work, eight well-known similarity/distance metrics are compared on a large dataset of molecular fingerprints with…

Journal of Cheminformatics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Cheminformatics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Cheminformatics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Cheminformatics use?
Journal of Cheminformatics uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Journal of Cheminformatics. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Cheminformatics?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready Journal of Cheminformatics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Cheminformatics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Cheminformatics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Journal of Cheminformatics?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Cheminformatics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Cheminformatics template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Cheminformatics template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Cheminformatics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Cheminformatics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
