CHEMistry SKETCHing

Hello there! Eh, Assalamualaikum..hello guys!! 

In the previous post, we have already talked about SMILES. How was it? Did you find it interesting? Sure it was! To those who are or were learning Chemistry, you might have been so familiar in using the abbreviations of the molecules' names. However, never did we know that it is actually being called SMILES! That was new, wasn't it? Well at least to us, it was.

We hope you have opened up our links that we put there and read them all. If you really did, then you must have noticed that we have mentioned that one of the module editor is ChemSketch. Yup, you are right. This post is dedicated for ChemSketch.

First of all, what is ChemSketch ? The name is self-explanatory, isn't it? No it is not? Haha, fear not! Here we come to rescue! ChemSketch is a chemically intelligent drawing interface that allows you to draw almost any chemical structure including organics, organometallics, polymers, and Markush structures.Wow! This is terrific!!

You can use it to produce professional looking structures and diagrams for reports and publications. Hence, this is a really useful tool and an essential skills for us to learn. This is because it would no doubt help us to perform better in our study and also in our future career. It would come in handy if you successfully mastered on how to handle this software. Besides, taking into consideration this current technology era, it would be great to put that in your resume, isn't it? You have better chances to be hired!

It features these following awesome tasks:

1. It can draw and view structures in 2D, or render in 3D to view from any angle

2.Draw reactions and reaction schemes

3. Calculate reactant quantities

4.Generate structures from InChI and SMILES (as we introduced) strings

5.Generate IUPAC systematic names for molecules of up to 50 atoms and 3 ring structures

6.Additional Resources,you may import and export structure files in a variety of standard file formats 

There are a lot of features in ChemSketch. It would be impossible to teach you everything about it in one simple post! However, to get you started, we would explain to you about the two modes that we are using in ChemSketch. They are Structure and Draw mode. You would find yourself always switching between these two modes in order to draw or construct a particular chemical molecules.

Structure	Draw
Generates structural parts of the file such as atoms and bonds	Allows you to enhance the structure with arrows, boxes and the non-structure drawings
Panels open for construction of structures	Panels open for text formatting and drawing

Explaining ChemSketch with mere words can be very confusing. Therefore, we have a better idea! We would let our reliable, useful friend Mr Youtube to teach you further and better. Well, he can move his pictures around and can talk to you directly, hence you would be easier to understand. :)
