SNOW: standard nomenclature wizard to help searching for (bio) chemical standardized names.
When developing bioinformatical tools dealing with enzymatic activity, metabolism or enzymatic networks, the problem of the lack of a clear nomenclature for biochemical compounds often arises. This problem leads us to develop a small web-based tool (SNOW, Standard NOmenclature Wizard) which may help to find recommended and trivial names or the correct closest spelling for a query compound name, if it exists.
