CAS Registry Numbers in Properties Viewer
by Andras Stracz on January 3, 2012 • Tagged as: property calculation
Today we added a new structure identifier to the Properties Viewer: CAS Registry Numbers.
For those who are not yet familiar with CAS numbers, they are unique numerical identifiers assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service to every chemical described in the open scientific literature. Check out the wikipedia article for a more detailed description.
Your input structure’s CAS number is resolved using the “cactus” nih.gov web service at: http://cactus.nci.nih.gov/
We hope you find this latest addition to chemicalize.org useful!
