iMolview Lite vs MoleculeSketch iP

Explore the fascinating world of biological macromolecules: iMolview Lite lets you browse and view in 3D protein and DNA structures from Protein Data Bank, and drug molecules from DrugBank. 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. If you have more than a casual interest in 3D structures, please consider full iMolview version, which adds many features you may find useful: - store your custom molecular visualizations as 'slides' to be instantly displayed later, preserving chosen representations, color schemes, viewpoint etc. - measure distances and angles - instantly e-mail screenshots to colleagues - VGA output support - 3D view mirroring and 'laser pointer' emulation for structural data presentations from your iPhone or iPad - load and display simultaneously multiple structures; superimpose using either residue number correspondence, sequence alignment or structural alignment with sophisticated iterative procedure - auto-assign secondary structure for PDB entries lacking this data - use side-by-side stereo display for even more vivid 3D viewing. - much more to come!

MoleculeSketch is a simple and easy to use drawing App for chemical formulas and reactions. MoleculeSketch iOS is the standalone version of MoleculeSketch for iPad. The free version offers basic functionality. The full version can be unlocked with an in-app purchase. It has following features: + add atoms and bonds nicely by position locking (can be disabled) + choose different bond types (double, stereochemical, delocalised, etc.) + add bonds with higher hapticity + type functional groups by double-clicking on symbol + show missing hydrogen atoms depending on free valences + "grow" and remove hydrogen atoms (*) + show non bonding electron pairs on heteroatoms + add reaction arrows and text fields + access drawing attributes from popover panels + calculate average mass and formula of molecules (*) + group and arrange objects (*) + change background color of drawing area and add a grid + copy/paste/cut molecules and drawings + paste drawings into other applications + import from mol/sdf files (*) + use gestures for zooming and rotation + import structures from mol- or sdf-files (*) (*) some of these features and others are only available when using the full version (inApp purchase)
