Almost every scientific journal specifies ChemDraw as its preferred illustration format - one more reason why it's the software of choice for chemical documentation
Almost every scientific journal specifies ChemDraw as its preferred illustration format - one more reason why it's the software of choice for chemical documentation.
"When you sum up all of the functionality that this single software application contains, you really have to conclude that it is a prerequisite for any chemist to do his or her job" - Emily Reinhard, medicinal chemist at Alteon.
If you're struggling along with other chemistry drawing software (or even more ambitiously, not using chemistry drawing software at all), the launch of ChemDraw 8.0 this summer must surely mean it's time to look at the software whose format is specified by 90% of journals.
The new ChemDraw is available separately or as part of a comprehensive package of applications: ChemOffice 2004.
This includes Chem3D to transform structures into 3D models for graphical examination and molecular modelling, and ChemFinder to file the structures (or reactions) and their associated information in a chemically intelligent database.
ChemOffice is supplied and supported in the UK by Adept Scientific.
