Atom Lists and NOT Lists

    MarvinSketch allows you to add Atom lists and NOT lists. An Atom list is a user-defined list of elements included in a structure. A NOT list is a query atom that allows you to define a list of elements that must not be included in the structure.

    Both can be edited by using the Atom Label Editor.
