The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has created iCn3D 1.0 ("I see in 3D"), a new WebGL-based viewer for interactive viewing of 3D macromolecular structures and chemicals on the web. Users no longer need to install a separate application to view structures. With iCn3D 1.0, users can:

Interactively view 3D structures and corresponding sequence data,
Interactively view superpositions of similar structures,
Customize the display of a structure and generate a URL that allows you to share the link,
And incorporate iCn3D into your own pages.

Select Chemistry Databases

The core database in Chemistry is SciFinder-n which provides access to Chemical Abstracts online. For additional in-depth and specialized research in Chemistry try searching other highly-recommended Chemistry databases from the UNH Library Database List and Chemistry Library Selected Resource List.

SciFinder-n This link opens in a new window
Note: Access is for current UNH students, faculty, and staff only.

A comprehensive discovery tool for chemical information. Indexes the literature of pure and applied chemistry and broadly related areas; searchable by text, such as author and research topic; plus chemical identifiers, structures, and reactions. Sources covered include journals, conference proceedings, patents, books, technical reports, and dissertations. Access also to CAS Analytical Methods and CAS formulas.. Register for a SciFinder account

CAS Analytical Methods
From the SciFinder-n homepage, click the 3 vertical dots and select CAS Analytical Methods from the list. Requires that pop-up windows from https://scifinder-n.cas.org be allowed.

CAS Analytical Methods makes it simple to locate, compare, and understand analytical methods published in top journals

Reaxys This link opens in a new window
For chemistry, nanoscience, and related fields. Reaxys is based on the combined content of CrossFire Beilstein and Gmelin, and the Patent Chemistry Database (PCD). Reaxys contains experimental reaction and substance data extracted from the major organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry literature, plus linked literature references. Allows researchers to identify and combine selected reaction steps to generate synthesis strategies. Substance searching includes (sub-)structure, generic and R-group searching, molecular formula, name, etc. Indexes multi-step reactions. Provides indexing and links to U.S. and European chemical and life science patents.
American Chemical Society Publications This link opens in a new window
Contains the full-text of the ACS journals from current to past issues. Also includes the Legacy Archives with full-text coverage for some journals back to 1879.
Web of Science This link opens in a new window
