Overview
MarvinView is an advanced chemical viewer for single and multiple chemical structures, queries and reactions. It has a rich (and growing) list of vizualization features, is chemically aware and is able to call ChemAxon’s structure based calculation plugins for viewed structures.
Rich viewing:- wide range of file types supported: MOL, MOL2, SDF, RXN, RDF (V2000 / V3000), SMILES, SMARTS/SMIRKS (recursive), MRV, InChi, CML, PDB etc
- Copy and paste between different viewers/editors
- Table and single molecule views
- 2/3D representation and animation
- Outputs graphic formats (JPG, PNG, BMP, POV, SVG, EPS, PDF, EMF)
- Non chemical data such as SDF fields can be displayed
- User and developer definable visualization styles (colours, structure representations, etc)
- Structure based calculations can be called directly from MarvinView. For a complete listing of functions please see the Calculator Plugins section
- Advanced stereochemistry functions (E/Z double bonds, R/S chirality, ABS/OR/AND enhanced stereo, etc)
- 2D cleaning
- 3D conformer generation
- Isotopes, charges radicals, lone pairs and aliases are supported
- Marvin can run on all major operating systems, it is available in the following distributions:
- Java Applets can easily be implemented into Java enabled web pages without the need for the user to install software or plugins
- Java Beans can be directly installed to give standalone desktop applications and can also be used to integrate Marvin into Java based applications
- Java Web Start enables web delivery of end user applications
- .NET package makes it available to integrate Marvin into .NET applications
