ACD/ChemSketch
Drawing Chemical Structures and Graphical Image
ACD/ChemSketch is a chemically intelligent drawing interface that allows you to draw almost any chemical structure including organics, organometallics, polymers, and Markush structures. Use it to produce professional looking structures and diagrams for reports and publications.
Alhamdulillah, for this week assignment we are required to use some tools of the ChemSketch to draw those objects:-
• A diagram of the energy of reaction
• Various types of orbitals
• Vacuum distillation apparatus
• A two-chain DNA strand
• Lipids and micelles
1) Drawing the Energy of Reaction Diagram• Various types of orbitals
• Vacuum distillation apparatus
• A two-chain DNA strand
• Lipids and micelles
 |
| Energy graph |
2) Drawing Different Kinds of Orbitals
 | |||||||
| p-orbital, d-orbital and pi-orbital |
3) Drawing Vacuum Distillation Apparatus
 |
| Vacuum distillation apparatus |
4) Drawing a Two-chain DNA Strand
 |
| DNA strand |
5)Drawing Lipids and Micelles
 |
| Phospholipids |
Benefits of using this tool:
- Visualize chemical structures in 2D or 3D to gain more insight into spatial configurations, and relationships to molecular properties
- Create professional reports, working with structures, text, and graphics simultaneously
ACD/ChemSketch also allows you to check other tautomeric forms for your drawn structure. Consideration of tautomeric forms is very important for structure searching, predictions (such as physicochemical properties, i.e., pKa), and interpretation (i.e., of NMR, MS, and other analytical data).
