Macs In Chemistry has moved

drc — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:21:14 +0000

As you probably know Apple are dropping support for MobileMe based websites and so I’ve had to move “Macs in Chemistry” to a new web host. I’ve taken the opportunity to clean up many of the links and pages but as you can imagine after nearly 10 years of posts using multiple packages to generate the pages it was getting a little untidy.
Here is the new Macs in Chemistry site http://www.macinchem.org

Protein Ribbon Models in WebGL

About the Author

Kevin Theisen is the President of iChemLabs, which funds, develops and hosts the open source ChemDoodle Web Components.

WebGL, the HTML5 technology for native 3D graphics in browsers (without Java or other plugins), has arrived. This 3D ability allows scientists to create more interactive scientific and educational tools, cheaply and easily distributed through the web.

Review of FieldAlign

A couple of weeks ago I published a review of FieldView a molecular viewer/editor from Cresset that is designed to show molecules with their associated Field patterns and physicochemical properties.

Medical imaging for iPhone and iPad

I just noticed that Mobile MIM have got FDA approval for their remote medical diagnostic tool for the iPad and iPhone.

I think this is the first application to get FDA approval.

I’ve just added friedEgg Touch to the list of 60 data analysis tools available for Mac OS X.

Round-trip editing with ChemDoodle and Microsoft Office 2011

iclkevin — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 12:04:12 +0000

ChemDoodle now supports round-trip editing with the latest update of Microsoft Office 2011 (14.0.1). So make sure you update your copies of Microsoft Office 2011, and round trip editing will be available again on Mac OS X!

Round-trip editing allows you to copy figures into another application from ChemDoodle and then paste those figures from that application back into ChemDoodle to recover the objects and edit them. You do not need to save an additional ChemDoodle file.

ChemDoodle also supports round-trip editing with other applications on Mac OS X, including Mail and iWork Keynote. We are working to provide further round-trip editing support with even more applications on Mac OS X.

AppleScriptObjC Explored

With the introduction of Mac OS X 10.6 Applescript gained access to the Cocoa Frameworks, unfortunately there is very little information available on how to leverage this new found capability.
