Mirror function

It would be nice to have a Mirror function in Marvin that generates the enantiomer of a compound. The Flip function preserves the configuration of all enantiomers; a Mirror function would invert them.

It's a good idea. We will implement it.

It doesn't appear that Marvin 4.1 alpha has this feature. I hope you haven't changed your mind about its desirability.

No, but we can't put all good ideas into the program, because you and other users would have to wait forever for the new release. It has been delayed long enough. We had to reschedule lower priority issues to a later release.

OK, I wrote my own jsp file that does the trick. You can find it at http://epoch.chem.uky.edu:9080/epoch-plugin/public/invertStereo.jsp. It works on both 2D and 3D files. It also works on individual stereocenters or entire molecules.





I posted this in the implementations section, too.





I'd be happy to contribute my code to you if you would incorporate it into Marvin.

I see that Marvin 5.0 has the Mirror function. Thanks for adding it. It will be very useful.





On another topic, please make the dative/coordinate bond available on your demo page. It's not available from either the toolbar or the popup menu.

Thanks Bob, it's done.

Is there a Marvin 5.0 API method that corresponds to the flip or mirror function in the GUI? I looked for flip(), mirror(), and getEnantiomer() in Molecule, MoleculeGraph, and CGraph, to no avail. Such a function would be useful.

Currently, it is not available from the API. We will consider your request.
