Chemical Informatics I presents basic concepts of information
representation, storage, and retrieval as they pertain to chemistry.
The course is designed to give you an overview of the techniques that
make modern chemical informatics systems work. Thus, we will look at
some of the coding techniques that form the basis for chemical
information retrieval by structures, nomenclature, and molecular
formulas. We will also examine various methods of coding for
visualization of chemical structures and chemical data. In addition,
some of the major algorithms and techniques used in modern
phamaceutical industry to enhance their research efforts are
presented in INFO I371.
