Converting structures from 3D to 2D in Excel

Hey


I am trying to convert the structures imported as an sdf (more than a 1000 structures). I know I can do it one at a time by clicking on the image; however, I would appreciate it if you tell me how to clean all structures and make them 2D at the same time.


 


Your help would be most appreciated.


Thanks !

Dear Hamed!


After the import of an SD file you can insert columns keeping the original structure column (e.g. [A]) and


add JC2D and JC3DCleanStructure function there, use them normally like Excel functions to browse the source parameter of the routine by clicking on the cell (e.g. A2) and press Enter or OK at the end.


When the structure 2D and 3d clean works you can extend the calculated function along with the 1000 rows down.

Thanks for the help. The function works; however, is there any function that allow me to remove explicit hydrogen atoms in order for my molecules to look less complicated? I still need the terminal hydrogens though.


 


Thank you so much!

Hi,


you can actually do both in one step:


=JCStandardizeStructure(<cell address>,"clean:full..removeexplicitH") or only one


=JCStandardizeStructure(<cell address>,"removeexplicitH")


for the possible list of action strings that can be passed to JCStandardizeStructure, see:
