What software do I need to do a structure search?
 
To carry out structure searching in IDdb you need two pieces of software in addition to your web browser:
  • the MDL Chime plug-in
  • a structure drawing package
The Chime plug-in enables your browser to receive a structure query you have drawn in your drawing package. You can download Chime from the MDL - Downloadable Products page.

You can choose either one of the following structure drawing packages:

  • ISIS/Draw
  • ChemDraw
