Catalyst(tm) is an integrated software system, intended for use by teams of computational and sythetic chemists involved in drug discovery. Catalyst helps in achieving two goals: finding more active lead compounds, and finding structurally diverse lead compounds. The Catalyst environment includes two products: Catalyst/Info(tm), a chemical database system that allows storage and retrieval of 1-D (property), 2-D (structure), and 3-D (flexible geometry) data; and Catalyst/Hypo(tm), a program that generates a 3-D chemical hypothesis describing properties that explain activity, given only a small set of 2-D chemical structures and associated activities.
