ChemDraw allows you to take the structure and display it in Chem3D and then export it as a pdb file (or a variety of other formats.) However, the only Mac version of Chem3D available is for OS 9 and it is not being further developed, while the drawing program continues to be developed. They clearly have the code which allows a structure to be converted to pdb from the 2-D drawing, albeit through the Chem3D format. I have tried to convince Cambridge to incorporate that code into a ChemDraw export option, to no avail.
Q: Is this Cambridge Software? Q: Are you saying that they do a 2D -> 3D conversion? If so, how good is it? Are the algorithms for this well defined?
