Beilstein/Gmelin: DiscoveryGate interface
NOTE: only works with IE and Safari. NOT MOZILLA FIREFOX.
The Yale Libraries have just begun an evaluation of the DiscoveryGate interface to the Beilstein and Gmelin databases. The vendor is hoping to move us off the current CrossFire interface over time. The trial will last through Nov. 23rd.
The advantages to this interface are: (1) web based interface, requiring only a simple download plug-in, and (2) Mac compatibility.
Databases available during this trial period are:
* CrossFire Beilstein
* CrossFire Gmelin
* MDL® Available Chemicals Directory
* MDL® Screening Compounds Directory
* MDL® Reference Library of Synthetic Methodology
* MDL® Solid-Phase Organic Reactions
* ORGSYN Database
* Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations
* Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis
* MDL® Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry
* MDL® Drug Data Report
* MDL® Metabolite Database
* MDL® Toxicity Database
* ChemInform Reaction Library
* Current Synthetic Methodology
* Derwent Journal of Synthetic Methods
* National Cancer Institute Database
*******************************************************************************
To set up access:
1. Download PC or MAC installer at https://www.discoverygate.com/
2. Once installed, return to https://www.discoverygate.com and select "Home" on the header toolbar.
3. From that page, you can open any of the three applications show--Search Databases, Integrated Major Reference Works and xPharm
