ChemDraw, application

ChemDraw plug-in This is claimed as being more than a mere structure viewer or a slow Java applet, rather it runs as fast and is as familiar as the regular ChemDraw application. Available without charge, it enables searching of web databases by structure or substructure, and viewing of ChemDraw documents that others have placed on the web. http //www.camsoft.com... 

Some of the stand-alone programs mentioned above have an integrated modular 3D visualization application (e.g., ChemWindow —> SymApps, ChemSketch —> ACD/3D Viewer, ChemDraw —> Chem3D). These relatively simple viewers mostly generate the 3D geometries by force-field calculations. The basic visualization and manipulation features are also provided. Therefore, the molecular models can be visualized in various display styles, colors, shades, etc. and are scalable, movable and rotatable on the screen. 

ACS journals accept application files (native formats) for several common software programs, including. skc files from ISIS/Draw and. cdx files from ChemDraw. 

Some claims use the format A compound of claim 1 selected from the following group followed by a list of chemical names, requiring the chemist to reach for a pencil and paper (or ChemDraw ). Composition of matter patents and applications usually also contain claims to pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and their use to treat different diseases toward the end of the list. Sometimes a process for preparing the compounds is claimed as well.

CambridgeSoft publishes ChemDraw and ChemBioDraw, with the ability to predict NMR proton and carbon shifts based on structures, using their ChemNMR application (CambridgeSoft Corporation, Cambridge, MA, www.cambridgesoft.com, now part of PerkinEhner Informatics). 

The ChemDraw compatible files can be created either from DARC-SMS or from external applications (DBMS applications) using libraries for conversion.
