Advanced visualization
Visualization of databases
Using a simple renderer tens of thousands molecules can be quickly displayed in a spreadsheet or matrix layout. Additional fields, molecule name, generated IUPAC name and SMILES string can also be visualized.
Display and formatting
MarvinView can visualize various atom properties such as atom numbers, lone pairs, atom mapping, graph invariants and R-groups. 2D and 3D coordinates can be rendered in various ways such as ball and stick, wireframe and space filling. Saving chemical structures as Web or camera ready resolution images, in various formats is also supported.
Bringing the power of ChemAxon’s Calculator Plugin technology directly onto the canvas
Calculator Plugins offer a solution to a wide range of problems faced by medicinal or computational chemists. ChemAxon’s Calculator Plugin suite is a cheminformatics toolkit to calculate structure based properties and gives unmatched versatility and power in characterizing your structures. Through Chemical Terms, a language to parameterize and combine Calculator Plugin results, you can quickly see a range of relevant properties and arguments for the structure or structures on the canvas as you are creating.
Predictors and Enumerators
ChemAxon’s software offers fast and accurate predictions of basic physicochemical properties such as logP, logD, pKa. Multiple stereoisomers and tautomers of each input structure according to user-specified limits can also be generated. Since a significant fraction of drug-like molecules are weak acids or bases with multiple low-energy ionization or tautomeric states fast and accurate or most likely structures is useful.
Molecular descriptors
Calculating molecular descriptors include; topological indices, structural keys, indices, physical properties, topological polar surface area or molecular surface area descriptors with wide applicability to both biological activity and ADME property prediction. Descriptors can also be used for classification, clustering, filtering and predictive model construction.
Molecular Modelling
ChemAxon offers a streamlined interface for interactive molecular mechanics applications such as 3D ligand optimization, conformation generation. Easy use of 3D alignment and Molecular Dynamics makes it invaluable for both computational and medicinal chemists. Partial charge distribution and its derivatives determine many physico-chemical properties of a molecule such as reactivity or pharmacophore pattern and can called from the interface.
Chemical feature parade
Welcome to the widest support for chemical structure file formats
In addition to relevant standard file types MarvinView can open protein, nucleic acid sequence files, Gaussian input and output files, chemical name file formats, JChem Table files. ChemDraw and Symyx Draw file formats are also recognized by Marvin. In the IP space Marvin users can also import Markush DARC files and save all features within Marvin’s default (mrv) format for sharing and subsequent editing. Marvin can import and export single and multiple molecules. Image files can be converted in MarvinSketch using the free OSRA application.
Editing chemical structures
MarvinView offers a basic toolkit to edit chemical structures such as 2D/3D cleaning, aromatic form conversion, contracting/expanding abbreviated groups and regenerating bonds, adding/removing explicit H atoms. For more extensive editing users can open the structure within MarvinSketch and then return to MarvinView.
Batch calculations and file format conversion using MolConverter
MolConverter is a command line program in Marvin Beans and JChem that converts between various file types. Operating in batch mode users can specify various documents, molecule files, graphic and compression/encoding formats. When handling chemical structures users can specify how to handle chemical features relevant to molecule file formats.
