  2. A summer of data sharing

    Kamila Nowakowska-Orzechowska – Thu, 24 Sep 2020 16:53:00 GMT

    Data comes to us in many shapes and forms (or formats) and you might find it surprising but some of the deposits we get still occasionally come via post rather than via our online deposition process or email. But what good comes from the paper copies for the users of our electronic database?

  3. Paper Spotlight; Structural Rugosity in Crystallisation

    Jason Cole – Fri, 11 Sep 2020 14:00:00 GMT

    The field of Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) has grown dramatically over the last few decades, but today I want to highlight a recent paper which takes a new approach. The recent publication from Montis et al makes use of new informatics tools to assess surface roughness (rugosity) and proposes a relationship between this and ease of crystallisation.

  4. New industry report asks - are we due a data revolution?

    Carmen Nitsche – Fri, 11 Sep 2020 13:41:00 GMT

    With every challenge, there is opportunity. Looking into the vast challenge that is COVID-19 it can be difficult to see this, but the pandemic has forced us to contemplate new possibilities in all areas of life, including scientific research.

    The world turned to the pharmaceutical industry for help, and the variety of responses makes us question; how did some get ahead while others struggled?

  5. The impact of COVID-19 on the CSD

    Suzanna Ward – Thu, 10 Sep 2020 10:00:00 GMT

    Since a pandemic was declared nearly 6 months ago we have been closely monitoring what impact this has had for our users, depositors and the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). We thought it was about time we shared some of our observations and hopefully give you some positive news for a change.

  8. Classifying metal-organic frameworks MOFs for search and screening

    Seth Wiggin – Wed, 02 Sep 2020 08:03:00 GMT

    The recent cover of Chemical Science (issue 32) showcased a paper by Moghadam et al. highlighting our new approach to classifying MOF structures for better searching and high-throughput screening.

  9. An international Affair - CCDC holds second Virtual User Group Meeting!

    Carmen Nitsche – Tue, 01 Sep 2020 11:42:00 GMT
    A few weeks ago we held our second virtual CCDC User Group meeting. While it was timed to best accommodate our community in the Pacific time zone, it was open to all.
    Our two primary themes revolved around:
    • Innovation in science education, with an emphasis on the remote learning strategies due to Covid-19
    • Data sharing and collaboration in drug discovery and development, whether down the hall or across the world
