iBabel 3.0 beta
30 11 10 - Filed in: iBabel Cheminformatics
As I mentioned a little while ago I’m in the process of rewriting iBabel using AppleScriptObjC, and thanks to the invaluable help of AppleScriptObjC Explored by Shane Stanley and the contributors to the MacScripter website I now have the first beta available.
It can be downloaded from here (24MB), this version requires Mac OS X 10.6 or higher and OpenBabel 2.3
Much will seem familiar to previous users of iBabel and the screenshots of the old version give a good overview of the capabilities, whilst the images below highlight a few of the new features.
The “Add title and index” option appends a title (default is Mol, but you can edit this in the adjacent text box) and an index number to multi-molecular files, e.g. Mol 1, Mol 2, Mol 3 etc. This is essential if you want to search files displayed in the “Viewer” since you need a unique identifier for each structure. In many cases the molecules will already have a molecule id.
Another new feature with OpenBabel 2.3 is the ability to generate 2D and 3D coordinates.
Perhaps the biggest changes have come with the “Viewer”, by storing the table data in an array we can use some of the cool ObjC functions such as the continuously updating selection count and the live searching of the “Name” text field. To import records identify the input file using the input button and then click the “Import” button.
The buttons highlighted in green allow the user to delete the highlighted row, delete all the “Selected” rows or clear all records completely. The selection can be modified using the buttons highlighted in pale blue.
There are a selection of supported viewers chosen using the iBabel Preferences. ChemDoodle is an included lightweight javascript library that works very well for most file formats but does not at present support SMILES (you can of course use iBabel to convert SMILES to sdf using the generate 2D option). I’m looking at doing this on the fly but I need to see what the performance hit will be.
For the other viewers, JMOL/JChemPaint are in the application bundle. ChemBioDraw needs to be in the Application folder but only works on some machines (something to do with only supporting 32-bit which I think we will have to wait for CambridgeSoft to address). Because of Java security issues Marvin has to be in the same file structure as the htm page, I think you only need to put an alias to Marvin in the Macintosh HD:Public folder or User:Public folder. the 2D and 3D radio buttons allow you to choose an appropriate display.
It also support JME as the editor but you need to get a copy from Peter Ertl directly and put it in the Public folder.
The PChem button pulls structures from PubChem, this can either be a single structure of a list (here is an example caslist.txt you can download to try).
As you can see the list contains a mixture of systematic names, trivial names, drug names and CAS numbers but the smart people at PubChem sort all that out nicely.
64318-79-2
iodobenzene
trinitrotoluene
anisaldehyde
170729-80-3
nonsense
Clomipramine
Loratidine
108-86-1
63-75-2
Promethazine
Chlorpromazine
The result is two files on your output.smi which contains the successful searches and NoStructure.txt which contains cases where no structure was found. You can then import the file to view the structures.
I’d be delighted to hear of any bugs (honest) any suggestions for how iBabel might be improved.

Safari extension for Opsin
22 11 10 - Filed in: safari Cheminformatics
The Unilever Centre for Molecular Science Informatics have been at the forfront at developing tools for the creation and curation of molecular data. OSCAR (Open Source Chemistry Analysis Routines) is software for the semantic annotation of chemistry papers a key part of this is Opsin a name to chemical structure converter. There is now a web interface to the program available and the web services can be accessed by anyone. Whilst this is very useful in its own right the beauty of such services is that other can build tools that access them.
There are a number Safari Extensions described on this site that access similar services and with the help of Matt I'm happy to anounce a new addition.
The Safari Extension for Opsin (download) allows the user to highlight a chemical name in a web page and then control click affords a dropdown menu, click on "Display ... using Opsin" and a small window will open displaying the chemical structure. What is particularly nice is that in addition to providing the structure in png format the same web service also provides the chemical structure in SMILES, InChi and CML format. If you click one of the buttons and the bottom of the structure window the structure will be downloaded in the appropriate format. You can read more about this extension here.
There is a full listing of the Safari Extensions here.

Black Friday
18 11 10
Black Friday is the day that follows Thanksgiving in the USA; with Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November, this year Black Friday will be November 26. It traditionally marks the beginning of Christmas shopping, and many stores offer substantial reductions and Apple usually has significant savings and this tradition seems to becoming more popular outside the USA.
However I’ve just been sent an email from Amazon suggesting they will be having four days of sales starting from Nov 22, so now we have a Amazon Black Friday Week
I guess that is inflation for you.

FieldView is now available for MacOSX
14 10 10 - Filed in: computational chemistry
Some time ago Cresset asked about interest in porting FieldView to Mac OSX, well I’m delighted to report that they have just announced that FieldView is now available for Mac OS X. FieldView is a molecular viewer/editor that is designed to show molecules with their associated Field patterns and physicochemical properties. Many molecular visualization/modelling tools seem to assume the charge associated with an atom sits as a point at the center of the nucleus, whilst this makes the computation easy it does not really reflect what the electrostatic surface really “looks like”. Cresset have pioneered the use of field point descriptors to give a more accurate description of the charge around an atom and to enable better comparisons and visualization. This has been shown to be particularly important when trying to understand some molecular interactions such as Aryl-Aryl interactions.
FieldView provides a richer more informative view of how molecules are likely to behave in biological systems.
FieldView enables you to load your structures from SDF and MOL2 files as well as showing results from all Cresset applications. You can import and compare up to 10,000 compounds at once or copy and paste them into FieldView from your favourite drawing package.
Using FieldView you will be able to:
It is excellent we now have FieldView available on the Mac platform, I’d urge all chemists or biologists to download it and give it a trial.

Using FieldView you will be able to:
- Create and modify structures using the in-built molecular editor
- Automatically convert structures from 2D to a minimized 3D conformation
- Clone and compare molecules side by side or overlaid using Cresset's unique Field technology
- Understand how a compound’s activity, ADME and toxicity properties vary with their molecular Fields
- View virtual screening results, such as those from FieldScreen, comparing 2D structures with a 3D overlay showing all the Fields of every ligand
- Filter molecules based on the exact mix of properties you need
It is excellent we now have FieldView available on the Mac platform, I’d urge all chemists or biologists to download it and give it a trial.
