Introduction and Welcome

Welcome to kemia! An open source (Apache Licensed) chemical structure and reaction editor. Our mission is to create the world’s first open source, 100% javascript chemistry toolkit.

Why? Because chemists are asking for tools that run in a web browser and scientific discovery works better when collaborative technologies, like the web, are utilized in a scientific context. This work is a collaboration between open source developers at the European Bioinformatics Institute Chemoinformatics and Metabolism Team and Wingu Inc.
