Mobilizing Chemistry - Chemistry in Our Hands

Mobilizing Science – Chemistry in Our Hands

Mobile Chemistry  What is mobile? Today? Tomorrow?  Chemistry “applications” made mobile  An overview of chemistry applications  Publishers  Chemistry applications  Chemistry databases  What the future holds?

Mobile Chemistry  ithingies : Pods, Pads, Phones  Phones with browsers  Tablets with network connectivity

Mobile Chemistry  ithingies : Pods, Pads, Phones  Phones with browsers  Tablets with network connectivity  “Apps” versus Mobile Browsers  Apps: Kudos and marketing value, dedicated to platform functionality, offline usage  Apps: Maintenance, distribution, local versioning, longevity, development skills

Mobile Chemistry  eBooks and access to Publishers content – Nature, ACS, PubMed browsing, others  In lab assistants  Stoichiometry calculators  Equation balancing  Elemental formulae to mass  Educational tools:  Periodic Tables  Flip cards, Q&As, Study aids

Mobile Chemistry  Multimedia access AND generation: YouTube videos, MP3s  Structure drawing tools  Look up tools: Types of reactions, Wikipedia searches, Chemistry database searching  Small molecules and biomolecules

Structure Drawing as an entry point  Drawing structures “for the sake of”?  Structure entry as an entry point to:  Calculations (formula, mass)  Predictions (local or server-based)  Systematic name generation, logP, pKa, NMR prediction, etc.  Database lookup  On device dictionaries (because space doesn’t matter!)  Internet-hosted databases (because the latest content does matter)

Future: Predictions  Short term : most innovations will quickly commoditize and there will be 1-2 top applications  Cloud-based “paper management” will expand (Papers, Mendeley, etc.)  Mid-term : iPad will popularize tablet usage – applications optimized to the dimensions  Online algorithms will serve up APIs for prediction  Online databases will popularize through “services” more than applications  ChemSpider, PubChem, Pubmed
