The Kekule program was developed to fulfill a need for efficiently converting printed chemical structure diagrams into connection tables and other computer-readable formats suitable for chemical structure database updating and searching. Scanners are used to capture structure diagrams. Kekule then interprets these diagrams into an internal format using raster-to-vector, optical character recognition, and rule-based logic. Editing of the resulting interpretation or creation of new diagrams is provided. Output is available in ISIS, MOLfile, SMILES, ROSDAL, and internal formats. Interfaces are provided for communicating results to remote database systems. Resulting structure images can be copied to word processors and desktop publishers for publication-quality output.
