This lets users perform a structure search for a named compound without having to draw the structure. For example, a 'Chemical Name' search for 'valium' launches a search that returns patents containing 'valium', 'diazpeman', '439-14-5', '1-methyl-5-phenyl-7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one' and any other synonyms that SureChem has mapped to that structure.
SMILES
'SMILES' are text strings that describe the structure of a molecule. SMILES strings can be used in SureChem to launch a full structure, duplicate, similarity or substructure search. You can enter a SMILES string into the 'Named Search' text box or paste it into the MarvinSketch drawing tool using the 'Edit'->'Paste' command. For more info on SMILES: www.daylight.com/smiles
