500,000th Crystal Structure Milestone
Reached
|
The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) is proud to
announce the archiving of the 500,000th small molecule crystal
structure to the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)
|
|
"The
determination of 500,000 crystal structures is a remarkable achievement.
However, the scientific community is hungry for the next 500,000 and the
knowledge these will undoubtedly bring. As the CSD grows both in size
and in the complexity of structures it contains, the database not only
helps us to answer our questions about molecular structure and
interactions, but tells us what those questions should be."
-Dr Colin Groom, Executive Director of the
CCDC

Important: September Service Interruptions
During the weekends of 4th/5th and 18th/19th September, the CCDC's electricity
supply will be severely disrupted due to extensive construction work being
undertaken by the University. The main website will be functional, but services
(e.g. Request a Structure, Deposit a Structure) will not. If a particular service
you require appears to be non-functional, please try again on Monday.
