National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) Adopts ChemAxon JChem Base for Japanese Consortium for Glycobiology and Glycotechnology Database (JCGGDB)

TOKYO and BUDAPEST, Hungary, November 2, 2010 - Patcore Inc. and ChemAxon, a leading provider of cheminformatics software
for the life sciences industry, announce the licensing of ChemAxon's JChem
for the Japanese Consortium for Glycobiology and Glycotechnology Database
(JCGGDB: jcggdb.jp/index_en.html ). Currently there is an ongoing
project, called "Life Science Integrated Database Project" (LSDB :
lifesciencedb.jp/?lng=en ), led by the Japanese government and The
National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) has
taken the lead in the glycoscience part of this project. AIST have been
consolidating glycoscience-related databases within the country and building
the integrated one. The ChemAxon's JChem software is to be used to enable the
integrated chemical structure search in JCGGDB.

JChem Base is a tool for the development of cheminformatics applications
allowing storage and search of structural and non-structural data. JChem Base
can handle molecules, reactions, polymers, Markush and query structural
contents. JChem Base will integrate a variety of database systems with web
interfaces and offer high performance searches including substructure,
similarity, exact, and superstructure searches. The system includes Marvin, a
family of toolkits and graphic user interfaces for editing, viewing and
visualizing chemical structures and macromolecules.

"We are honored to work with AIST in this ground breaking project, we
expect the full potential of our functionality to bring new possibilities and
value to users," said Alex Drijver, CEO of ChemAxon.

"We are very pleased for the JChem technology to be adopted for the
portal of glycotechnology," added Fumiaki Aruga, COO of Patcore, ChemAxon's
exclusive commercial agent in Japan.
