What is SMole?

SMole

SMole is a fantastic tool for chemists and anyone who loves chemistry! Whether you're looking to create simple or complex molecules from scratch, or just want to check out other cool projects, SMole has you covered.

Supported File Formats

This application supports a ton of file formats that are super useful when you're working with molecules. You can open and explore files like Protein Data Bank (*.pdb), MDL Mole (*.mol), XYZ cartesian coordinates(*.xyz), Sybyl Mol2 (*.mol2), and even SMole Session (.smo). Pretty neat, right?

Interactive Viewing

One of the best features of SMole is how you can rotate the molecule to see it from every possible angle. If the structure gets a bit complicated, don’t worry! You can zoom in and out to focus on specific details and pan around on both axes. It's like having a mini lab right on your computer!

Create Your Own Molecules

SMole gives you all the tools you need to build molecules from scratch. You can sketch them out or use predefined structures. There are functional molecules available in categories like alcohols, amides, benzimidazoles, ketones, oxazoles, purines, and so many more!

Add Atoms Easily

If you want to add a molecule or atom, just find it in the database, select it, then click in your workspace. A really cool thing about SMole is that it offers hints for each piece you add. This makes it super easy to see which atoms can link together!

Molecule Styling Options

You get to choose between different atom and bond styles such as line, stick, ball, and Van der Waals! Plus, SMole lets you apply mesh and solid textures to your creations.

Customization Features

You’re free to adjust their resolution and transparency too! Want a custom color? You got it! With all these options, your structures will look amazing. And guess what? You can export your designs as images for easy use in your projects.
