Journal of Cheminformatics 2012, 4:2Predicting the mechanism of phospholipidosis
An in silico approach was used to predict targets for phospholipidosis, a lysosomal disorder characterized by accumulation of phospholipids in tissues. By predicting targets for a database of compounds, they can be ranked by their potential to cause phospholipidosis

Journal of Cheminformatics 2011, 3:47Open bibliography for science and technology
BibJSON, a simple structured text data format suitable for serialisation and storage of large quantities of bibliographic data is presented and the concept of a distributed bibliography is explored
-
Journal of Cheminformatics 2011, 3:46Past, present & future of scientific discourse
The increased functionality offered by online publishing is explored by comparing a paper published in 1953 with one from 2010, illustrating how additional data sources can be implemented
