Bob,

Yes!

I don't have Jmol 12.0 downloaded yet, but I'll get it now. Where are you "seeing" the stereo bonds. I don't see any stereo information in the molfile (other than the SMILES in the header) or the jme string. Are you reading this from the SMILES?

Once I get this set up, Tom will be playing with it endlessly, so you should get some feedback from our end.

Thanks for the work on this.

Otis

      124. JME reader reads stereochemistry and automatically turns 2D
      to 3D with addition of H atoms

/ The JME format is a two-dimensional file format that is easy to generate <http://www.molinspiration.com/jme/doc/jme_ex1.html> but not easily adapted to 3D. Jmol 12.0.RC5 adds the automatic addition of H atoms and transformation of simple JME structures (including stereochemistry) to 3D. The transfer is not perfect, and it may take some testing to get this right./

    Otis, if you think it would be valuable, we could look into
    reading the stereochemistry of bonds and at least shifting a whole
    branch up or down an angstrom in the Z coordinate based on that.
    wouldn't be perfect, but it might not be that hard, either.

    As I started to do this, I realize that the JME reader is totally
    nonfunctional. I'm adding stereochemical reading, and it seems to
    work OK, but there is still a problem with the addhydrogens
    business. WIll fix....

        Bill,

        I'm passing molfiles from JME. Actually, the SMILES is also
        passed in
        the molfile (Name Position), but its the molfile that's rendered.

        The JME string might be worth a try. While the information is
        still 2D
        only, we have found that you can give UFF minimization good
        starts and
        bad starts based on the original 2D drawing. It's important to
        note that
        Jmol ignores stereo bonds from JME - only 2D info passed.
        Interestingly,
        it will pass formal charge information in the molfile, but the
        atom is
        not registered in Jmol as having the formal charge - i.e. the
        charges
        are only printed on the model.
