Chemical structure searches are required when novelty lies in a specific chemical compound or entity. If the structure is new, it becomes very difficult to search it with a common name or IUPAC name.

The solution thus lies in searching the chemical structure in specialized chemical structure databases.

Biological Sequence includes nucleotide sequences (DNA or RNA) or amino acids sequences (peptides or proteins). Searching biological sequences in patents required special skill sets.

Sequence searching can be done on databases such as NCBI or paid databases services such as STN (DGENE, PCTGEN, USGEN etc.). The results of the sequence searches are further refined from the raw files retrieved from the mentioned databases to  a well organized clear cut results in our proprietary reports.
