Bob, If Resolver does not get a connectivity identifier (e.g. taxol), it relies on database look up (multi databases, including PubChem). I have no idea what the priority is, nor what identifier Resolver seeks if it gets a non IUPAC name. But let’s assume it goes to PubChem and seeks the

Hi Richard, That model is coming from Resolver. Resolver does not use MM to compute 3d models. Basically, the steps are as follows: 1) The connection identifier (SMILES, InChI, IUPAC, etc) is broken down into fragments called ensembles. Fixed geometries for these fragments exist in memory.

Hello All but Bob in particular Another of my less sophisticated questions: I am updating some of my files about simple biological chemicals http://www.biotopics.co.uk/jsmol/fattyacids.html Elaidic acid - a trans fatty acid - has a double bond in the middle of its chain. Having followed
