ChemBrain

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffMarch 11, 2004Select a molecule from a list of thousands or enter your own, and this application will graphically display its structure and give information such as chemical formula and molecular weight. But before you can do that, you ll endure a somewhat lengthy installation process and will likely need the Help files to learn how to use ChemBrain's numerous features. Search for molecules similar to the one you re working with, and get a graphical display of their structures. Add properties to existing molecules to create your own, and keep notes within the program on what you ve done. The program only allows 20 uses in the trial, and interested buyers may wish for more evaluation time before shelling out the hefty $969 registration fee. While obviously not intended for average users, chemists and students are likely to find ChemBrain an invaluable resource.
