ChemBioOffice 2010 is the latest release of CambridgeSoft’s integrated suite of desktop applications designed to assist the workflow of individual chemists and biologists at their desktops, and to facilitate the transfer and sharing of information across an organisation.
ChemBioOffice helps scientists automate and streamline their work, avoid repetition and costly errors, and spend more time on innovation and creative thinking.
The goal of every new ChemBioOffice release is to continue to improve the CambridgeSoft toolbox scientists have depended on for decades in their teaching, research and publishing. By maintaining its familiar look and feel while adding powerful new functionality, ChemBioOffice 2010 continues this tradition with a solution that will improve communication, efficiency and productivity in a wide range of scientific settings.
The three core applications of the ChemBioOffice desktop suite have all been updated...
ChemBioDraw, the most complete chemical and biological drawing software, comes with an improved sequence tool that lets users create disulfide bonds between residues and easily draw multi-line sequences. The enhanced Struct->Name feature handles more classes of compounds, including bridged fused ring systems, sulfur oxides and heterocyclic ring ketones. What’s more structures generated from ambiguous names are now highlighted to prompt further review. Graphics can now contain millions of colours and be rotated around any point on screen. Plus there are new tools for drawing and annotating biological pathways, with many more images of cell organelles, lab animals, anatomy etc. User Correctable Databases let users add their own shift correction data for Proton Prediction and the revised molecule clean up tool rearranges structures in a more consistent way.
ChemBio3D brings workstation-quality molecular graphics and rigorous computational methods to the laboratory desktop. New version 12 comes with Stochastic Conformational Analysis and an enhanced MMFF94 Force Field that uses multiple processors for calculations.
There’s also a new fast multi-pole method for electrostatics, truncation approximations and a user-settable dielectric constant.
ChemBioFinder/ChemBioViz lets you visualise selected data as plots and graphics onscreen. The new release adds Cluster analysis and integration with STATISTICA Base for more in depth statistical analysis.
The suite also includes the updated Desktop versions of CambridgeSoft’s Enterprise applications E-Notebook, BioAssay and Inventory, as well as access to online databases ChemACX (chemical sourcing data) and ChemIndex (compound reference data). Partner application Mnova Std/Lite (for visualisation and analysis of 1D NMR data), and a host of other tools, round out the integrated solution.
