Molecule Sketcher
The molecule sketching tool includes basic features of molecular drawing, such as single and double bonds, erasers and translating tools, wedges to display stereochemistry and different elements.

Guide to the molecule sketcher
Tool | Description |
---|---|
Single Bond | Click or drag to draw a single Carbon bond, click on existing bonds to make double and triple and crossed bonds. |
Multi-node bond | Click and drag to draw an alkane chain of Carbon |
Multi-atom rings | Multiple options for carbon ring systems |
Above the plane bond | Draws a bond coming out of the plane |
Below the plane bond | Draws a bond going into the plane |
Charge modifiers | And positive or negative charge modifiers to atom nodes |
Common Elements | Most commonly used elements, select your chosen element and paint it onto nodes that have been drawn |
Other Elements | For other elements select this tool, then click on the atom node you want to change, from there type in the elemental abbreviation |
SMILES editor | This field populates as you draw molecules, you can also type in this field to modify the SMILES string and see the resulting structure in the canvas |
File upload | Click to upload a .sd or .smi containing a single compound |
Eraser | Deletes nodes and edges of the molecule graph as you click on the structure |
Zoom | Select this tool and click and drag on the canvas to change the scale of the structure |
Lasso | Click on drag on the canvas to draw around multiple atoms and bonds |
Trash | Delete the structure on the canvas |
Undo last step | Undo your last step |
Beautify structure | Normalize bond lengths and angles, and fit the structure to the canvas. |
