iBabel Description

This is an Applescript Studio Application created using Xcode, it is a GUI for the command line driven file conversion application OpenBabel. The application is available iBabel and the documentation is available. If anyone wants the source code drop me an email, everything will be uploaded to Sourceforge when I have time. You can read more about it in this issue of CDK news PaGE 19. iBabel was designed to be the interface to OpenBabel and it provides a simple GUI for file conversion and manipulation and supports over 80 different chemical file formats. It also provides to a number of tools built using the OpenBabel toolkit, these include very fast substructure and Similarity searching using a variety of molecular descriptors, don't worry if you can't write SMARTS queries there are a range of predefined queries available from the drop-down menus and you can use the embedded editor to create more. A new feature is the ability to get the structures corresponding to CAS Numbers from PubChem. It uses the the Entrez Programming Utilities (eUtils). If it proves useful I can look at adding further search facilities using PubChem. You can view more Details here. The embedded tools also give access to molecular property calculation, molecular rotamer generation, and energy minimisation. Embedded tools allow the user to Overlay structures on a Template defined by a SMILES string, print chirality or property information.
