Safari Extensions for Chemists

By drc at Fri, Jul 16 2010 1:26am |

With Safari 5 one of the most interesting new features is the support for Extensions. If you’ve ever used Firefox or Chrome you might be familiar with these. For more details you might want to take a look at Mac OS X Tips, where there is a detailed description and links to useful Extensions.

I've now written a selection of extensions that I hope will be useful to chemists.

Chemspider :- Displays structure of highlighted chemical/drug and links to ChemSpider page.
PubChem :- Search PubChem for the highlighted compound
eMolecules :- Search eMolecules for the highlighted compound
Chemicalize :- Submit the current URL to chemicalize.org
DrugBank :- Search DrugBank for the highlighted compound

Hi, The ChemSpider Safari

Hi,

The ChemSpider Safari Extension has now been updated.

http://homepage.mac.com/swain/Macinchem/page5/files/8e05b503736444c024bc9a456fdaa464-569.html

The new version builds on the brilliant work of the ChemSpider team and now displays 2D and 3D structures, allows the user to zoom in on a structure and download a structure.

Cheers,

Chris

Apple have released a new

Apple have released a new version of Safari, possibly the most important feature is that Extensions are now enabled by default.

There is also a new Extensions website.
