This white paper discusses the different cheminformatics technologies developed for the canonical name generation of chemical structures and NEMA keys for quickly and accurately searching registry and retrieval systems.

This white paper discusses the challenge of developing a chemically-aware method of representating large, modified biopolymers that is meaningful for both biologists and chemists, reduces redundant information and enables the electronic searching of structural features.

This white paper explains the business need and technical delivery of Elsevier MDL’s flagship MDL® Isentris®, an informatics system for managing, accessing and analyzing proprietary and commerical information within scientific workflows.

This specialized white paper, written specifically for MDL® ISIS/Host administrators and developers, describes the structure-based keys used in MDL® technology. The Enkfil.dat and Eksfil.dat files specify the structural features that set the keybits.

This white paper provides a detailed explanation of the new stereochemical capabilities and how they can be used to best advantage.

MDL supports a number of file formats for representation and communication of chemical information. This document describes the formats for CTfiles (chemical table files).
