[bionet.general] Cambridge crystalographic database

roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu (Roy Smith) (04/25/91)

	I've been asked to find out whatever I can about the Cambridge
crystalographic database.  A researcher here wants to get some sugar
structures contained therein.  I need to find out who maintains the
database, and how you go about accessing it, or getting a copy of it to use
here.  Any help would be appreciated.

The Cambridge Data Base contains structural information from the literature
for carbon containing compounds. There are two versions which are about
$850 and $1600 (per year??). I am not sure what the procedures are for a
an outside person to access someone else's software.

I don't think I have an e-mail for Duax.
