Stack Overflow – Not for Chemistry?

Rich Apodaca recently wrote a post highlighting StackOverflow – a community discussion site for software development, suggesting that a similar type of site for chemists would not work. He also posted a follow up listing some factors that make something like StackOverflow unlikely for the chemistry community. I had made a quick comment noting that […]

There’s been an interesting discussion sparked by Deepaks post, asking why there is a much smaller showing of chemists and chemistry applications in the cloud compared to other life science areas. This post led to a FriendFeed thread that raised a number of issues. At a high level one can easily point out factors such […]

Combinatorial Libraries and Mixtures

Houghten, R. et al, “Strategies for the Use of Mixture-Based Synthetic Combinatorial Libraries: Scaffold Ranking, Direct Testing In Vivo, and Enhanced Deconvolution by Computational Methods”, J. Comb. Chem., 2008, 10, 3-19 Recently a collaborator pointed me to the above article by Houghten and co-workers where they describe the use of mixture-based combinatorial libraries for high-throughput […]
