Organic Chemistry: popular links
Here are the most popular posts from James Ashenhurst's Master Organic Chemistry blog over the past year. Most of them are pretty self-explanatory - hope you find something useful.
Science apps n more
Couple of useful apps from Science Direct that crossed the desk this morning:
AcroMine automatically recognises biomedical acronyms and provides their expanded forms (definitions) - and vice versa. AcroMine is based on an acronym dictionary automatically built from MEDLINE. It can also be used to search for variant expansions of an acronym.
The Protein Interaction Browser visualizes the protein interactions that are reported in the Structured Summaries of the online articles of the Elsevier FEBS Letters journal. The proteins whose interactions are described in the article are drawn as blue nodes connected by yellow edges and displayed in relation to the global interactome.

Biblimed : Medline interface app
- Query
refinement: search by subheading (therapeutic use, adverse effects)
- Many
filters: publication types, subjects, clinical & genetics
- Easy export
& History: PubMed, Zotero etc.
- Contextual
links: related articles & books, clinical trials, Entrez
cross-database, MedlinePlus

Organic Chemistry Resources
Two organic chemistry undergrad student resources that have crossed our radar this week are:
Master Organic Chemistry Resource Guide and blog Master Organic Chemistry .
Organic Chemistry Portal
Each resource offers links to ebooks, reactions, reagents, tools, tutorials, study & revision guides, self tests and more. Follow on FB & Twitter etc...

Research beyond Google
Research Beyond Google: 119 Authoritative, Invisible, and Comprehensive Resources is a collection of deep web resources that go beyond the surface web results found on Google. Google, currently the largest search engine has approx
50 billion web pages indexed, but it can only index the
visible web, aka the searchable web. But the invisible web (or deep web) is estimated to be 500 times bigger
than the searchable web and consists of atabases and
results of specialty search engines that the more popular search engines are unable to index. Compiled by the OEDB, some of these listed research resources may be familiar already via the DIT Library website, but have a look and see what else might work for you.
