Explore the fascinating world of biological macromolecules: iMolview lets you browse and view in 3D protein and DNA structures from Protein Data Bank, drug molecules from DrugBank, and small molecules from Pubchem. Search for drug names like 'ibuprofen' or 'gefitinib' in DrugBank, or proteins like 'insulin' or 'thyroid receptor' in PDB. Information associated with each molecule in these databases is also at your fingertips. Sync and view your own structure files via iTunes. Molecular view can be customized with a rich set of molecular representations (wires, balls-and-sticks, space filling, ribbon diagrams, molecular surfaces) and various coloring schemes. Select residues, atoms or chains and color or change their representations individually. Select 'neighbors' of a ligand or any other selection to identify interacting atoms or residues. Set 'inertia' to the maximum and let your molecule spin in 3D indefinitely. Save the current scene (viewpoint + representation) as a slide which can be easily accessed later. Save the whole molecular document with multiple slides. Load and contour electron density map

CloudLabs Ester Synthesis

Features
Read full description

In this practice it is possible to carry out the synthesis of methyl benzoate, used in non-electronic heating cost distributors. To carry out the synthesis, methyl alcohol, benzoic acid and sulfuric acid are available. The simulator recreates a chemistry laboratory with a three-mouth balloon, pipettes, a reflux column, a thermometer, an ethyl ether test, a Schiff test, and a hydroxamate test, among other instruments and supplies necessary to perform the synthesis.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: CloudLabs Ester Synthesis at Free against iMolview's $0.99. CloudLabs Ester Synthesis also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). iMolview's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 30 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
