ChemAxon Launches Marvin 4.1 With .NET and Publication Feature Support.BUDAPEST, Hungary -- ChemAxon, a software solutions provider for cheminformatics, today announced the release of version 4.1 of its platform independent chemical editing and visualization suite, Marvin. The release sees the addition of new structure based calculations, extensive publication features and support for .NET. Marvin is the leading platform independent, web ready chemical editor and visualization toolkit and application suite available today. In addition to the graphic user interface See GUI. , a unique feature of Marvin is the availability of a full application programming interface (API) allowing web and application developers and command line users to completely configure and control only those features they want to use. The arrival of the 4.1 release sees full API access from the .NET environment which, with our native Java support, allows seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. within all major web and intranet environments. Looking more closely at the new features, MarvinSketch and MarvinView see the addition of professional publishing options with multiple pages, rich text editing and formatting as well as journal publication style templates functions. As well as peptide sequence import, new file formats are supported including InChI file import/export and EMF emf: see electromotive force. (1) (ElectroMagnetic Field) See electromagnetic radiation. (2) (Enhanced MetaFile) See Windows metafile. and PDF (Portable Document Format) The de facto standard for document publishing from Adobe. On the Web, there are countless brochures, data sheets, white papers and technical manuals in the PDF format. vector export. New usability features make the Marvin GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. more intuitive and friendly for users. The release of MarvinSpace 1.3 within the distribution brings Marvin to the fore for Applet macromolecule macromolecule, term that may refer either to a crystal such as a diamond, in which the atoms are identical and held by covalent bonds (see chemical bond) of equal strength, or to one of the units that compose a polymer. and protein viewing. New features include; ribbon representation, interactive editing of molecules in MarvinSketch, high resolution image export in a range of file formats, more colouring types, enhanced selection tools and support for Copy/Cut/Paste and Drag & Drop. To try out MarvinSpace please visit http://www.chemaxon.com/marvinspace/ The range of Calculator Plugins, currently including logP, logD, pKa, Hydrogen Bond hydrogen bond n. A chemical bond in which a hydrogen atom of one molecule is attracted to an electronegative atom, especially a nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine atom, usually of another molecule. Donor/Acceptor and many others is extended with the addition of Conformer calculation, including lowest energy conformer prediction, Stereoisomer stereoisomer: see stereochemistry; isomer. , Orbital Electronegativity electronegativity (ĭlĕk'trōnĕgətĭv`ətē), in chemistry, tendency for an atom to attract a pair of electrons that it shares with another atom (see chemical bond). , Molecular Dynamics, Geometry and 3D Molecular Surface Area calculations. Close integration with MarvinSpace also allows calculation results to colour 3D surfaces within a true 3D viewer environment. Marvin is available for free for installation on to your desktop.
