6.15 Build a molecule with SMILES
VEGA ZZ allows to build molecules from their
SMILES strings, selecting Edit
Build
SMILES in the main menu.
The 1D structure of the SMILES string is converted to 3D clicking the Build
button. The user can select the Current workspace or a New workspace
as Destination of the 3D structure.
When you edit the SMILES string, the 2D preview is automatically updated to show the changes.
If the current workspace is not empty, the Get button allows to convert
the 3D structure to a SMILES string. The same operation is possible selecting
Edit
Copy special in the main
menu and choosing SMILES, but the resulting string is copied to the
clipboard instead of the SMILES window.
