Call For Papers
Division of Chemical Information
American Chemical Society National Meeting
New Orleans Louisiana, August 22-26, 1999
Developments in Combinatorial Library and Markush Patent Searching
Over the past several years the field of combinatorial chemistry has enjoyed a
period of dramatic growth. The existence of greater numbers of these vast
compound libraries has created unique challenges for the patent researcher.
In a similar fashion, patent searchers can find the level of complexity and
the vast number of compounds associated with searching for Markush prophetic
compounds equally daunting. The American Chemical Society Division of
Chemical Information is seeking speakers for a symposium at the New Orleans
National Meeting who are interested in speaking on patent searching for
combinatorial libraries or Markush structures. Suggested topics are new
developments in searching combinatorial libraries, methods for communicating
results to minimize the confusion that these substances can create, recent
developments in Markush searching, sharing generic fragmentation code
generated answers where a document may not necessarily contained the desired
substance and other topics dealing with searching and disseminating results
based on combinatorial based or prophetic compounds. Opportunities are also
available for a poster to be presented on the same topic during the divisions
poster session. Any interested parties please reply to the organizer, listed
below.
Submissions should be made on an ACS Abstract form, available from
www.acs.org/meetings/abstract/abinfo.html. Please contact the organizer for
further information. The deadline for submission is April 15, 1998.
