                               L.MAYER

I.                    Properties databases


1)      Follow the link below, look for Chlorpyrifos, what kind of information can we find on that
website?

https://www.reaxys.com/#/structure‐editor :


2)      With the same link, go to “draw” and draw a Methane molecule (CH[4]) with apparent bonds in
2D and in 3D

https://www.reaxys.com/#/structure‐editor :


3)      Follow the link below and look for physico-chemical properties information on Fonofos
(pesticide) using EpiSuite values, if experimental value exist give experimental, if not, give
predicted values

http://www.chemspider.com/

Give information for:

-          Vapor pressure:

-          log K[OW]:

-          Solubility in water:

-          Half life in air:


II.                  Compounds and spectra database


4)      Look for Spectra for D-glucose, using only the number of atoms: C[6]H[12]O[6]; Copy/paste
the spectra below and indicate the associated InChI of the molecule

https://sdbs.db.aist.go.jp/sdbs/cgi-bin/cre_index.cgi










III.                Biological database


5)      Follow the link below,

Let’s use BLAST to see if we can identify 20 unknown uncultured bacteriums

https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi

Link to get to the data (20 unknown sequences):

https://go.usa.gov/xUEX4

(just in case computer is very slow, do not click on it otherwise, link to results:
https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?CMD=Get&RID=NH1S873K015 )



MOLE-BLAST

https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/moleblast/moleblast.cgi

Copy/paste the 3 sequences

KU524801.1

AB759680.1

GQ158974.1


Run with 16s database















IV.                Registration Database:


6)      Find authorization status for the following compound at the EU level, using the following
link

https://go.drugbank.com/ (Drug database)

https://ec.europa.eu/food/plants/pesticides/eu-pesticides-database_en (EU pesticide database)
