ICCARTRIDGE

InfoChem's Chemistry Cartridge ICCARTRIDGE is a powerful software package designed to integrate chemical structure and reaction retrieval into relational databases.
The application uses ICFSE InfoChem's high performance search engine to handle and search millions of structures and reactions.

Newly defined and specific SQL operators offer a variety of query features for searching of chemical structures and reactions:

• exact structure and reaction search
• molecule and reaction substructure search
• sophisticated chemical formula searching
• exact reaction searches for reactants and products
• sophisticated reaction searching support (CLASSIFY)
• ...

Version 2.6 of ICCARTRIDGE has been launched in April 2009. The most relevant new feature is the integration of the innovative "all-in-one" search operator for molecules. The "all-in-one" structure search retrieves results from exact, substructure and similarity search ordered by relevance performing only one query. Furthermore the determination of InChIs and InChI keys and the calculation of elemental composition have been added. The performance has been substancially enhanced since version 2.3.

How does it work?

ICCARTRIDGE takes advantage of Oracle's basic technologies and security standards:

• transaction / data security
• common data access via JDBC, ODBC, ADO, OCI

by integrating structural information, and numerical and textual data in a relational data model.
Based on the standard SQL syntax, ICCARTRIDGE introduces extended SQL commands to access your chemistry data.

System Requirements

Hardware:

• Windows/Linux: Pentium III or higher (> 1 GHz recommended); SUN Solaris: SPARC (> 700 MHz recommended)
• 512 MB additional RAM per million structures
• 800 MB additional RAM per million reactions
• 4 GB free disk space per million structures/reactions

Software:
