If you can do the things shown here, you should then be ready to pursue more features of the program on your own - as you need them. No attempt is made here to teach all of ChemSketch. After that, I will briefly show some other features. I will lead you through one example in some detail, showing how to draw the structure, and how to convert it to 3D. The approach in this tutorial is to show by example. You can use ChemSketch to draw chemical structures, and to view them as three dimensional (3D) models. This is an introduction to the program ChemSketch, from ACD Labs. (Carbon atoms are shown in cyan, oxygen in red, nitrogen in blue, hydrogen in white this uses the default color scheme of ChemSketch/3D.) It was drawn with ChemSketch and displayed with Balls and Sticks in the 3D module. 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid, the biosynthetic precursor of ethene (ethylene) in plants.

Interactions between the ChemSketch and 3D modules
Drawing in ChemSketch - more basic features I am updating this page for the new version.įor the most part, you will probably find little difference between this and previous versions of ChemSketch, for basic functions.
A new version, called 2016 1.1, is available, as of late 2016. Or Writing, drawing and viewing chemical formulas
