Database of C-glycosylporphyrins in Web fashion

The aim of this work was to organize chemical data in a client-server envir onment using Database Management System and Web fashion for the client inte rface. To solve this ancient problem (for us) merging text data, reaction s chemes, tridimensional structures, and NMR, CD, and UV spectra images, we h ave based our implementation on a few fundamental points: no cost for the u ser, availability of data via the Internet, standard and freeware software, and a Web browser for the database inquiry. These functions are delivered in a platform-independent manner via the Internet and are used by computati onal experts and nonexperts alike. C-Glycosylporphyrins is the class of com pounds chosen to test our applications. These results can be exportable for many other classes of chemical compounds.
