How do I get started if I want to try to utilize DSSTox SDF files?
First, we recommend that you either purchase or otherwise acquire a Chemical Relational Database (CRD)application (see More on CRDs). Low-cost or no-cost options are available for individual-license use (see SDF Viewers, Structure Browsers & CRD Applications). These applications allow the direct import of SDF files, visualization of chemical structure/data records, and relatively sophisticated search capabilities for structural analogs combined with data fields. We are working to incorporate DSSTox data files into off-site structure search capabilities currently available on-line (see Coordinating Public Efforts and Searching DSSTox SDF Files on PubChem). With the recent launch of the DSSTox Structure-Browser (v1.0) you can now structure-search DSSTox SDF files directly from this website.
