Sunset Lake Software - Comments for "Molecule database"

Thank you so much for the

Thank you so much for the latest update! It's fantastic, I can actually show off a model of caffeine to people! lol

I was so grateful I gave you a 5 star review in the app store. Like I said, I don't have a problem with the giant molecules but I just find these way more usable. Thanks again!

I teach high school science at a school where all students have i-pads. I have had some success with downloading pdb files onto Molecules by putting them on my wiki site (will supply the address to you Brad if you can help) and when I download them it asks if I want to open the file in Molecules. Some molecules it opens with ball and stick intact. Some it opens with the of balls of correct color but no sticks. Some it opens with the balls all green with no sticks. Some it tries to open but ends up going back to the original DNA molecule in the display and lists it on the list with no atoms and it not bold. Some files even make Molecules shut down. Are these bugs you are working on? Any idea how I can tell which will work well?

I am fixing a few known rendering bugs, but if you have specific files that are causing you problems, please post links to them here or email me files at contact@sunsetlakesoftware.com and I'll see if I can determine the root cause.

However, I have noticed that sometimes people find PDB files online that have missing bonds or other elements in the files themselves, which I can't do anything about when it comes to rendering them.

What are pbd files?

I figured that out. It the

I figured that out. It the website does not link directly the file with extension .pdb you can download your files to your desktop computer. then run a web server in your computer (IIS, Apache) and download the files from there.

For example, I downloaded several molecules to my windows computer (c:\inetpub\wwwroot) then using my iphone WIFI conection I downloaded the files pointed to my computer with the internet server. (eg 192.168.1.10/mymolecule.pdb)

It is not clear how to

It is not clear how to download custom molecules

For example, I would like to download antifungals from this website

Please advice

I too would really like some smaller molecules.

No offense meant to the large ones, they're great and all but... it would be nice to have some that are a bit more lamen, like plastics, hydrocarbons, or even just water. Not only could I show it to more people without fear that they wouldn't understand the molecules, but I suspect smaller would mean less lag as well.

Vitamines too, vitamines aren't that big, yet they would be fun to have.

It looks like there is

It looks like there is something going wrong with the way that files are being downloaded from that server. There might be something different in the way that these particular documents are being served up. I'll see if I can fix it.

Right now there is no way to directly send files to the iPhone or iPad versions of Molecules, but I'm working on a solution for that.

I hpe someone can help since I would like to use this database at www.uwsp.edu/chemistry/pdbs.
