Symyx :: MDL :: Products :: MDL® Discovery Knowledge

DiscoveryGate is your first stop for scientific information and answers to discovery questions. A powerful Web-based discovery environment, DiscoveryGate integrates, indexes, and links scientific information to give you immediate access to compounds and related data, reactions, original journal articles and patents, and authoritative reference works on synthetic methodologies—all from a single entry point.

Read a review article about DiscoveryGate, 'The Better Mousetrap', reprinted from The Searcher—The magazine for Database Professionals.

"…start[ing] from a chemical reaction library to synthesize a compound, while browsing a reaction library, you may get metabolite information and commercial availability and probably information on bioactivity, physicochemical data. DiscoveryGate really gives you access to all of the different data—including patents, journal articles, and synthetic methodologies."—as featured in Science Magazine, Mike May and Gary Heeber. "Combinatorial and Computational Chemistry: Creating New Therapeutic Compounds"

Until now scientists have been forced into a step-wise process of asking a question, getting an answer, and then asking another question. With DiscoveryGate scientists can now ask one question and get many answers, all at once, in a seamless, integrated environment. DiscoveryGate provides this capability by connecting you with a single login to the three types of information that underlie all scientific decisions:

Primary literature sources (e.g., journal articles and patent information)
Secondary literature sources (e.g., commercial and proprietary chemical databases)
Tertiary reference information providing reviews and commentary

DiscoveryGate employs a variety of applications and services to integrate discovery content. These tools represent the latest technology from MDL, the recognized leader in discovery informatics for the life sciences and chemistry in industry and academia.

Current DiscoveryGate products include:

Database Browser: One-query access to selected databases from MDL's respected scientific content, including the MDL® Available Chemicals Directory, the MDL® Drug Data Report, and MDL ChemInform Reaction Library. Database Browser is an intuitive online interface for also searching and browsing all of MDL's molecule and reaction databases. Search by structure, reaction, or data. Find out what compounds are commercially available, locate information about performing a specific reaction and transformation methodology, find bioactivity information about particular compounds, and more
