Bob,

I have it set up on my home server. I'm only working with small molecules, but I haven't had a clunker yet.

Wow, I am impressed!

I actually took the stereo bonds off of the JME on the chemagic site. I need to put them back.

I'm still going to bypass some other misses. For example, most users would simply draw cyclohexane as JME planar - no stereo bonds. UFF keeps that planar, so I'll just use the unique SMILES to reroute to a direct load from a cyclohexane chair file.

      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.
