Dear Bob,

Sorry for the delay in answering. I was very busy with Unviersity activities and when i tried to post this message from my iPad it was sent from the cloud.me <http://cloud.me> account and was refused from the list manager system.

Jmol is working at its best! I had a look but I did not have time yet to inform you about it.

Due to the new functionality It is now possible to ask a student how many chiral carbons he can individuate into a molecule and probably this could be done also leaving the student to make a selection on the molecule and compare the result obtained using the selection piece of script you showed in the examples. Also, this feature eliminate the problem I had, to make exercises on molecules having only one chiral sterocenter. Now, every chiral stereocenter can be individuated and properly managed.

For people teaching Organic Chemistry this is an enormous advance. I could imagine that by using the selection functions you implemented time ago, for a biochemist it could be easy to individuate an unnatural amino acid or sugar (for which the difference is only the stereochemistry) in a complex biopolymer.

You did it on my birthday, so I would take this great advance as a "present" that I can share with everyone, student or teacher, who is interested in chemistry. Many thanks also for this.

I will introduce some notes on my site to explain that the new page should be taken with care because it is "under testing" and I will ask everyone doing exercises to inform us about problems and accuracy problems.

@Pino (who wrote in the meantime...): I only made a request for info to Bob... He worked hard, and JMol/JSMol made a "quantum leap"! JMol is always a piece of "magic".

Many thanks again!

Bye!

Pierluigi

I've added a "show R/S" button at https://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jsmol/jsmetest2.htm

It just runs

label %[chirality]
background labels yellow

    I have that fixed in JavaScript but want to add a couple more
    unrelated items before I release this the normal way. But you  can
    also get jsmol.zip here:
    https://sourceforge.net/p/jsmol/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/dist/
    <https://sourceforge.net/p/jsmol/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/dist/> and
    it should be  working at the St. Olaf site. For example:

            Ogg: [Jmol-users] check R/S chirality with Jmol

<https://sourceforge.net/projects/jmol/files/latest/download?source=files>


            *
            *Jmol now allows checking of R/S chirality. For example:

            *
            load $(R)-glycidol
            print {C1}.chirality

            /R/

            load $cholesterol
            select on chirality != ""
            label %[chirality]

            /8 atoms selected/


            Thanks to Pierluigi Quagliotto for the suggestion to
            tackle this. It was a good challenge getting it right.

            Please test!
