53. ChemSelect AQB (Advanced Query Builder): A Pfizer in-house developed reusable Java component that allows users to query various molecular structure databases within Pfizer based on molecular structural information and/or other properties, retrieve, manage, and export retrieved hits. It has a functional role similar to MDL ISIS/BASE, but with many enhanced capabilities. PGVL Hub has embedded this reusable Java component within itself so that users can search for suitable reactants from various corporate reactants databases and inventory houses and return the hits seam-lessly back into PGVL Hub design session. From user’s point of view, the ChemSelect AQB component is just part of PGVL Hub. This is one of the successful examples that re-usable components are developed and shared among multiple software development projects within Pfizer.
