Molecular Structure & Computation
TopicOverview »
The Molecule is a symbolic representation of a chemical species and is a fully computable first-class member of the Wolfram Language. More than 20 new functions allow users to create, analyze and modify chemical species. A wide range of computed properties such as stereochemistry, symmetry elements, molecular graphs and molecular mechanics energies facilitate problem solving across all chemical disciplines. Built-in support for organic and inorganic nomenclature allows fast creation of molecule objects from chemical names. Molecule folds seamlessly into existing functionality, e.g. Graph , to enable novel computations.
Symbolic Chemical Representation
Molecule — a molecule specified by atoms and bonds, name or SMILES string
BioMolecule — a large biopolymer composed of peptide, DNA or RNA units
ChemicalFormula — symbolic representation for a chemical formula
Atom — symbolic representation of an atom in a molecule
Bond — symbolic representation of single, double, aromatic, etc. bond
Molecule Options
IncludeHydrogens — whether to implicitly add hydrogen atoms for unfilled valences
StereochemistryElements — specify local stereochemical arrangements of atoms
AtomCoordinates — explicitly specify 3D coordinates of atoms in a molecule
AtomDiagramCoordinates — explicitly specify 2D coordinates to use in diagrams
IncludeAromaticBonds — whether to include aromatic bonds or use single/double form
