Faced with questions?



Finding the answers to questions like these has just become a lot easier, thanks to the latest features introduced for RSC Prospect enhanced HTML articles. Linking together related articles by subject ontologies and identified compounds, RSC Prospect enhanced HTML articles already provide you with definitions, synonyms, structures and RSS feeds. One new feature that we've just introduced is a structure and sub-structure searching function to help you find relevant articles by drawing your own molecule using ChemAxon's MarvinSketch or pasting in a ChemDraw or ISIS/Draw file.

We've also widened the compound identifiers to include groups and relationships via the ChEBI (Chemical Entities of Biological Interest) ontology. Links to patent information in SureChem and to compounds in PubChem have also been added. Winner of the 2007 ALPSP/Charlesworth Award for Publishing Innovation, RSC Prospect was first released in February 2007. There are now more than 1600 articles that have been enhanced with these features. As Richard Kidd, informatics manager at RSC Publishing says: 'We believe that the application of open and standard identifiers for both compound and subject matter will transform the future of publishing. We are proud to be leading the way amongst scientific publishers with RSC Prospect.'

RSC Publishing book series provide authoritative insights into critical research, appealing to a broad cross-section of scientists in multiple disciplines. The book series cover new and emerging areas of scientific interest such as Green Chemistry, Energy, Nanoscience & Nanotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences.

Our prestigious Biomolecular Sciences series is devoted to the coverage of the interface between the chemical and biological sciences and has contributions from leading experts in the fields of structural biology, chemical biology, bio-and chemo-informatics, drug discovery and development, chemical enzymology and biophysical chemistry. This month sees the publication of two new titles to join the series.

Written by a team of experts, Protein-Nucleic Acid Interactions: Structural Biology bridges the gap between the DNA- and RNA-views of protein-nucleic acid recognition which are often treated as separate fields. Therapeutic Oligonucleotides takes a unique look at all the modern approaches and the many advances experienced in the field of protein folding and aggregation during the past 10 years. Both titles are not to be missed, and will serve as ideal reference and state-of-the-art guides at the graduate and postgraduate levels. Look out for more exciting new titles to join the Biomolecular Sciences series later this year.
