Title
Messenger And S(4) - A Comparison Of Structure Search-Systems
Abstract
In the past few years several large structure oriented databases have become available through on-line hosts. These databases need special software in order to perform substructure searching. STN International has been using the Messenger software successfully for a number of years to search the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry file, and for some years this software has also been used to search the Beilstein and Gmelin on-line databases. The Beilstein database is also available on DIALOG using the S4 Structure search software which has been developed jointly by the Beilstein Institute of Organic Chemistry together with the software company Softron Ltd. The two structure search systems have been compared by FIZ Karlsruhe with respect to the architecture, functionality, and performance of the systems. In our analysis the applicability of the two systems is discussed with respect to the structure searchable databases available on the two on-line hosts.
