Tools to convert chemical formats
Last updated
Chemical information is usually provided as files or streams and many formats have been created, with varying degrees of documentation.
Labii is developing a list of widgets that can convert one chemical format to other chemical formats. Here is a list of widgets:
Widget | Type | Description |
Section | Convert chemical formats with Open Babel | |
Section | Resolve a structure identifier to a file |
Open Babel is computer software, a chemical expert system mainly used to interconvert chemical file formats. This widget uses the Obabel function from the Open Babel to convert nearly all the chemical formats and it very practical to quickly move from one program to another.
To convert format:
Copy and paste the data into the Input field.
You can also load the data from one of the Chemical Drawing widget by selecting a section.
Make sure the Input format is correct
Select the Output format
Click the Submit
Copy or click Download to download the transformed data.
