Cheminformatics enable the management and analysis of chemical information - at their core is the ability to store, manipulate, and operate on chemical structures and related data. It involves combines the scientific working fields of Chemistry and Computer science especially in the area of chemicals.

This field is of major application in the drug designing and provide various tools in the field of Ligand formation and identification, providing new molecules in drug designing. Thus, Cheminformatics encompasses the design, organization, storage, management, retrieval, analysis, dissemination, visualization and use of chemical information.
