There are also some problems with the 2D files you
supply.  The SDF files have an extra line at the top that is not in the
format specs.  This causes problems with most pieces of software.  The
PDB are also a not correct.  The atom names are simply the element name
which can cause problems.

Apart from the format errors, the bond lengths in the files are so far from 
ideal that determining the correct bond
orders without hydrogens is impossible.  As an example, benzene and
cyclo-hexane are the same in 2D formats without hydrogens.

We have received many suggestions about how to get to improved
structure pdb files sooner.  Thank you for your kind suggestion.

 As a sidenote, it will also be more useful to have a 3D
 rotatable/scalable molecule (JMol) than a fancy rendered one.

While this may seem obvious in practical terms, it is more efficient to
attract users to the site with nice graphics, and they can optimize
their own structures until the time that we are able to provide
improved ones.  As it has been pointed out on the main page, and in
several fora, providing regularized or minimized structures is truly an
obvious next step and definitely in the works.  Also think big, as it
is just the beginning.

Meanwhile, PyMol happens to be an excellent piece of software for
regularizing these structures by hand, so that they really are useful
now.  I am told that OpenBabel will do automatically this too.  I had
thought to try minimization with NAMD, and in fact there are many
possible options.

 I have automated the process to make molecule galleries, which I am finding
 very useful to my research, so I thought that I would share the opportunity
 and take requests.  It is quick and easy.  I did a bisphenol search today,
 and as I expected, the search turned up a few stilbenes, which is the same
 molecular family as resveratrol.  Strikingly, Bisphenol A is a noted
 teratogen, which shows that care must be taken when using such molecules
 during development.  Here is a link to the bisphenol gallery.

 If you would find it useful, I am definitely interested in taking
 requests for molecule galleries.   Just send me the name of your
 favorite molecule.  As you may be able to tell, we have access for galleries
 to about 1% or 0.5 million structures, in the total archive thus far, but it
 is already quite useful. The automated jobs are underway to fill in the
 rest.  The next milestone is the capability to index and make galleries for
 the remaining millions of molecules for which we have pdb files already,
 which would be 5-10% complete.  Any comments or suggestions are also
 welcome.

I'll second that.  

While applying PyMOL to generate millions of molecular renderings in an
automated fashion may be a cool demonstration of open-source databases 
technology, using 2D molecules as inputs kind of misses the point:  

PyMOL is a 3D viewer, optimized for depicting 3D representations of small
