Marvin Desktop Suite

    The Marvin Desktop Suite consists of the following two applications:

    • MarvinSketch
    • MarvinView

    MarvinSketch

    MarvinSketch is an advanced chemical editor for drawing chemical structures, queries, and reactions. It has a rich (and growing) list of editing features, is chemically aware, and can call Chemaxon's structure-based calculation plugins for structures on the canvas.

    Rich Editing

    • Easily accessible chemical drawing functions, a lot of shortcuts
    • Convenient editing in 2D and 3D
    • 2D and 3D cleaning of the structures
    • Pre-defined structure templates and user-defined custom templates
    • Abbreviated groups
    • Chemical name (IUPAC or traditional), CAS Registry Numbers® or InChi / RInChI can be pasted onto the canvas and get converted into chemical structures directly.
    • Wide range of file types supported: MRV, CDX, SKC, SDF, RDF (V2000/V3000), RXN, MOL, MOL2, SMILES, SMARTS, InChI/RInChI, CML, FASTA, and so on
    • Copy and paste between different chemical editors; drag&drop feature
    • Inserting editable chemical structures (as Marvin OLE objects) into MS Office documents
    • Advanced query features
    • Handling polymers and biomolecules
    • User-definable customizable styles (fonts, colors, structure representations, and so on)
    • Drawing and formatting shapes, arrows and text boxes
    • Multipage documents and printing support

    Chemically Aware

    • Isotopes, charges, radicals, lone pairs, and aliases
    • Error checking (valence error and structure checking)
    • Advanced stereochemical functions
    • Structure-based Calculator Plugins - for calculations of different chemical properties - can be called directly from MarvinSketch
    • Structure query design (R-logic, SMARTS properties, and so on)
    • Manual and automatic mapping for reaction drawing

    Cross-platform Delivery

    • Marvin can run on all major operating systems
    • The .NET package makes it available to integrate MarvinSketch into .NET applications

    MarvinView

    MarvinView is an advanced chemical viewer for single and multiple chemical structures, queries, and reactions. It has a rich (and growing) list of visualization features, is chemically aware, and can call Chemaxon's structure-based calculation plugins for loaded structures.

    Rich Viewing

    • Wide range of file types supported: MOL, MOL2, SDF, RXN, RDF (V2000 / V3000), SMILES, SMARTS/SMIRKS (recursive), MRV, InChi, CML, PDB, and so on
    • Copy and paste between different viewers/editors
    • Table, spreadsheet, and single-molecule views
    • 2D/3D representation and animation
    • Export option in graphic formats (JPG, PNG, BMP, POV, SVG, EPS, PDF, EMF)
    • Non-chemical data, such as SDF fields can be displayed
    • User and developer definable visualization styles (colors, structure representations, and so on)

    Chemically Aware

    • Structure-based calculations can be called directly from MarvinView. For a complete listing of functions please see the Calculator Plugins section
    • Advanced stereochemistry functions (E/Z for double bonds, R/S for chiral atoms, ABS/OR/AND enhanced stereo labels, and so on)
    • 2D cleaning
    • 3D conformer generation
    • Isotopes, charges radicals, lone pairs, and aliases are supported

    Cross-platform Delivery

    Marvin can run on all major operating systems and is available in the following distributions:

    • Java Applets can easily be implemented into Java-enabled web pages without the need for the user to install software or plugins
    • Java Beans can be directly installed to give standalone desktop applications and can also be used to integrate Marvin into Java-based applications
    • Java Web Start enables web delivery of end-user applications
    • The .NET package makes it possible to integrate Marvin into .NET applications.
