Point to right side tool bar. Alternately you can open Templates menu from side tool bar.
Move the cursor on the list. Here you can see various Templates tabs.

Click on All Templates tab.

Structure Templates window opens.

Scroll down the window. Window shows list of Templates along with their structures.

I will scroll down the window to view different structures.

Point to the Templates. I will click on a few Template tabs to display structures.
Click on Beta Lactums tab >>

Click on Penicillin structure.

Click on Beta Lactums tab.

Click on Penicillin structure, to display it on the Panel.

Press Ctrl+ Z Press Ctrl+ Z to undo the changes.
Click on Miscellaneous tab.

Click on C60 Fullerene.

Click on Templates tab, click on Miscellaneous.

Then click on C60 Fullerene, to display it on the Panel.

Slide Number 6

Assignment.

You can load other Templates of your choice onto the Panel.
Next we will learn about SMILES and InChi keys.
Slide Number 7

SMILES

What are SMILES and InChi Keys?
  • SMILES is simplified molecular input line entry system.
  • It describes chemical structures using short ASCII strings.
  • Molecular Editors import SMILES strings, to convert structures into 2D drawings.
  • For example, CCCCCC is a Canonical SMILES of Hexane
Slide Number 8

InChi

  • InChi is International Chemical Identifier.
  • It describes a chemical in terms of layers of information.
  • Atoms and their bond connectivity,
  • Isotopic, stereochemical and electronic charge information.
  • For example, this (InChI=1S/C3H8/c1-3-2/h3H2,1-2H3) is the InChi key of Propane.
Press Delete on the Keyboard. I will clear the window.

Press Delete on the Keyboard.

Point to the Templates and Morhphine. To generate SMILES I will load an Alkaloid, Morhphine from the Templates menu.
Click on Tools Menu>> click on Create SMILES. Click on Tools Menu, then click on Create SMILES.
Point to the dialog box.

Move the cursor onto SMILES and Chiral SMILES

SMILES dialog box opens with Generated SMILES.

Dialog box contains SMILES and Chiral SMILES.

Click OK to close the dialog box. Click OK to close the dialog box.
Go to Tools menu.

Click on Create InChi.

Press CTRL+A to select the structure, if it is not selected.

To generate InChi key of Morphine, go to Tools menu.

Click on Create InChi.

Point to InChi details. InChi dialog box opens with InChi generation of 'Morphine'.
Click OK to close the dialog box. Click OK to close the dialog box.
Press Delete on the keyboard. Press Delete on the keyboard to delete the Morphine structure.
Now we will learn to obtain a structure from inserted SMILES.
Point to the Insert bar and Insert button. Below the Formatting toolbar, we have an Insert bar with an Insert button next to it.
Click in the Insert bar >> type c1ccc1. Click in the Insert bar and type c1ccc1 and click on Insert button.
Point to the structure. Cyclobutene structure is generated on the Panel.
Press Ctrl+Z. Press Ctrl+Z to undo the changes.
Open and show the Text editor. I had already saved a few SMILES and InChi keys from PubChem Page into a "Text Editor".
Copy and Paste the SMILES.

Point to the structure.

I will copy a SMILES from “Text Editor” and paste it into the Insert bar.

And click on Insert button.

Inserted SMILES displays Aspartic acid (C(C(C(=O)O)N)C(=O)O) structure on the Panel.

Press Ctrl+Z. Press Ctrl+Z to undo the changes.
Copy and paste the InChi Key. I will copy an Inchi Key from the Text Editor and paste it into the Insert bar.


Then click on Insert button.

Inserted Inchi Key displays, Benzene (InChI=1S/C6H6/c1-2-4-6-5-3-1/h1-6H) structure onto the Panel.

Slide Number 9

Assignment

As an assignment, insert the given SMILES and InChi Keys

to obtain various structures.

1)CC1=CC=CC=C1

2)CC(C(=O)O)N

3)InChI=1S/C5H10/c1-2-4-5-3-1/h1-5H2

4)InChI=1S/H2O4S/c1-5(2,3)4/h(H2,1,2,3,4)

Let's Summarize.
