List of FREE Chemistry Databases

It says "website by Isomer Design" at the bottom. Isomer Design also hosts luxury versions of TIHKAL and PIHKAL where every single reference is hosted on bitnest.ca (direct download). countyourculture.com is a blog run by the same entity...
 
It isn't all chem but its an amazing resource so I will post anyway.. please move if it needs to be somewhere else.


Welcome to Neuroscience Online, the Open-Access Neuroscience Electronic Textbook

These are more (non-drug) molecular modelling and protein/enzyme related sites. More biochemistry I guess. I hope they help someone out there! :)

A 3D model you can control. Zoom in and out of the hemoglobin protein, separate its domains, there's a sickle model. (Requires Java).

A HUGE database of many biochem related molecules/processes - Adhesion / Extracellular Matrix, Angiogenesis / Metastasis, Apoptosis, Cell Division / Cell Cycle, Molecular Motors, DNA / Chromatin, Drug / Mechanism of Action, Metabolic / Respiration
Neuronal Signaling, Protein Folding & Stability, Replication, Transcription / Translation, Viruses / Infectious Disease

3D-encyclopedia of proteins & other molecules

Molecular visualization resources and biochemical molecule tutorials

http://youlab.me - an open chemical database with structure search. It is possible to create own public or private databases of compounds (similar to ChemFinder, but online and for free). There is also a reference database of compounds which is automatically gathered from public sources.

An atlas of six human brains, also comes with developing mouse brains. This is a really interesting resource. The program to view the mapped brains is called Brain Explorer, and it's free somewhere in the link I posted. The brains are fully mapped in 3D, fully rotatable and all of that. You can search any gene in their database and it will map the expression of these genes for each brain in the Brain Explorer. It has definitely been helpful to me for other neuropharmacological pursuits.
 
Fantastic as these are, you really NEED Reaxys if your going to make a job designing new stuff. People at Uni may well be able to just go online (unless chem department has separate IP).

A warning, I attempted doing this in college. Yes, you could access various chemistry resources and medical journals. I did research illegal drug analogues using school resources. The admins had seen the traffic, gossiped, and narked on me. This caused a lot of major problems.

I regret having done that. I could have found out a better way.
 
this was just part of the reason i remember wanting to get a blue light account, in general I think a greater spectroscopy discussion that can be made popular on blue light forums is such a useful tool
