Automated Identification of Isomeric Relationship from 3D Structure?

You might become interested in OpenBabel. Written in C++, it offers bindings to Python (ref). It looks like stereochemistry is covered more in detail (here, here) than the obchiral command (here). …

Is HC(=NH)OH a stable compound?

Compound 7 is the imidic acid of formic acid (hence formimidic acid). However as indicated by $\Delta{}G$, its tautomer formamide 8 is thermodynamically favoured. Some activation ($\Delta{}G^\#$) ha …

Transform raw atomic coordinate data into SDF file

Your work ahead requires two steps completion of the file to be a valid .xyz file transformation of the .xyz into a .sdf file, a task for which openbabel already is one of the tools suitable (in my e …

How can you build a model of tetrahedral coordination from objects found at home?

Inflate balloons, and tie them «at their stem» like a bouquet of flowers. If you take four of them, not too much inflated, you well demonstrate a situation close to $sp^3$ hybridization. These models …

How to interpret BRICS fragments

Cutting a molecule (expressed with SMILES strings) into fragments yields sub-structures. Typically these fragments can't be considered as molecules for their open, non-bonding valencies. Derived fro …
