CINF webinar: sneak preview

Next week I will be presenting a webinar, organised by ACS CINF (American Chemical Society, Chemical Information division). The title is Practical cheminformatics workflows with mobile apps, so if you have any interest in finding out where the state of the art is at, put aside thirty minutes and tune in.

It’s still experimental, but it will be making an appearance in the workflow example next week.

A new app is on the way: MolPrime+

There is now another iOS app waiting for initial approval on the AppStore, by the name of MolPrime+. As the name suggests, this is an enhanced version of the MolPrime app. Once the app gets through the review process, it will be available for the grand price of one dollar, whereas its predecessor was free. In return for this investment, advertisements are gone, some more advanced structure-properties can be calculated, and more graphics exporting options are available, including exporting vector graphics to Microsoft Word’s .docx format. And also the user interface has been overhauled, and if you’re not convinced already, it even has new cover art:
