I've reactivated http://depict.emolecules.com, which generates nice 2D pictures 
using OpenBabel's --gen2D feature.  Our intent is to keep this service running 
from now on.  The terms of use still say it's experimental, but that's mostly a 
precaution.

For those of you who haven't discovered it yet, we're also offering the entire 
eMolecules collection of compounds (currently about 7.6 million compounds) for 
free, in both SMILES and SDF formats.  This is an excellent resource for 
virtual screening, because unlike many other public databases, we keep 
eMolecules up to date with currently-available compounds.  If your virtual 
screening turns up something interesting, then it's a good bet you can actually 
buy it.  You can find this at: 
http://www.emolecules.com/doc/plus/download-database.php

We're also in the process of generating multiple 3D conformers for the entire 
collection.  We decided that one of our backup servers, with its 8 CPUs, could 
be put to good use on this task, and our UC San Diego intern, Marshall 
Levesque, pulled together all the pieces for this job.  Marshall's computations 
have been burning up the electrons for about four weeks now, and should be 
finished soon.
