Material Detail

The Chemistry LibreTexts library is a principal hub of the LibreTexts project, which is a multi-institutional collaborative venture to develop the next generation of open-access texts to improve postsecondary education at all levels of higher learning. The LibreTexts approach is highly collaborative where an Open Access textbook environment is under constant revision by students, faculty, and outside experts to supplant conventional paper-based books.  

LibreTexts are custom developed for individual instructors/classes and schools. The Modules in the Core supplement the LibreTexts.

University of Arkansas Little Rock is a metropolitan research university in the South that provides accessibility to a quality education through flexible learning and unparalleled internship opportunities.

This book was designed for a Special Topics course Chemistry 4399/5399: Classical cheminformatics evolved out of the pharmaceutical industries, in silico medicinal chemistry, the ability of computational software to predict chemical properties and the needs to manage large chemical data sets. As the amount of data evolved new forms of scientific discovery in line with Microsoft Research's Fourth Paradigm of eScience evolved, and today, cognitive scientists could state that cheminformatics is changing the fundamental cognitive artifacts used to represent, manipulate and communicate chemical information. The world of big data is here, and the focus this particular cheminformatics course has taken deals with providing students an understanding of the nature of digital chemical data, and how to connect the workflow of practicing chemists to the infrastructure of online chemical data repositories.
