Generate IUPAC Names and PINs for a Wider Range of Molecules

  • You can now generate IUPAC names for a wider range of amino acid derivatives
What's New Name - Amino Acid Derivatives
v2024 3-methyl-D-valyl-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)-L-alanine
Previous (2S)-2-(2-amino-3,3-dimethylbutanamido)-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)propanoic acid
  • You can now generate a larger selection of names according to IUPAC Preferred names (PIN)

Name also includes ChemSketch. We’ve improved features for this as well:

Use Keyboard Shortcuts to Modify Structures

  • You can now use keyboard shortcuts to modify bonds and atoms. Hover over the item and press: 1 single; 2 double; 3 triple; h hashed; s dashed; b bold; c coordination; or a any for bonds; + increase atom charge; decrease atom charge; backspace delete; b change atom to Br; or r R atom label
What's New ChemSketch - Hashed Bond
H: Hashed
What's New ChemSketch - Dashed Bond
S: Dashed
What's New ChemSketch - Coordination Bond
C: Coordination
What's New ChemSketch - Any Bond
A: Any

Improved Options for Editing Objects

  • You can now resize objects by changing the units or percentage size; use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+R
    What's New ChemSketch - Resize Objects
  • You can now rotate objects by exact angle and direction of rotation; use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+R
    What's New ChemSketch - Rotate Objects
  • You can now quickly access all arrow variations under each line and curve drawing tool button
    What's New ChemSketch - Arrow Variations

Improvement to File Management Preferences

  • You can now specify an increment to save a temporary copy of your file while working
