Martin Ketcher talking about his 46 years as warden of the @hertswildlifetrust.bsky.social Purwell Ninesprings Nature Reserve, my lovely patch which I wrote about in Land Beneath the Waves: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/land...

I put an LLM chat next to the Ketcher editor, with RDKit as its tools. Asked to run a substructure search, the model called the tool 6 of 6 times, yet 2 answers were wrong: it wrote 2-aminopyrazine as the query. A correct tool can't fix a wrong input. #Cheminformatics

Sorry and thank you for the correction and details! We are so happy about this joint project #ketcher

True, but @nfdi4chem.de is funded til 2038 and @beilstein-institut.bsky.social is part of a foundation, so this ketcher-project has a good chance of standing the test of time. And as it’s open-source, the whole community helps out too.

Oh man. This photo rules.

The main focus will be Ketcher since this is the default editor for Chemotion and it urgently needs updates for inorganic chemistry but the project might not necessarily be restricted to that.

Will depend on how quick progress is made and how long funding will last.

Is that just for improving Ketcher or is there interest in desktop software as well?

If it's not filled yet, I suspect posting again could get some interest.

Right now, outside of web tools (i.e. Ketcher) I don't see any desktop apps.

So I'm willing to celebrate when more alternatives start - and hopefully one or more will gain some community.

Sounds great. Have you ever heard of Ketcher, an already existing open-source alternative?

🧪 Looking for a free, open-source alternative to ChemDraw?

Ketcher is browser-based, feature-rich, and surprisingly capable for 2D molecular and reaction drawing.

Would be cool if it could be used as Streamlit widget much like Ketcher:

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_ketcher import st_ketcher

molecule = st.text_input("Molecule", "CCO")
smile_code = st_ketcher(molecule)
st.markdown(f"Smile code: ``{smile_code}``")

Working with EPAM Systems we're aiming to upgrade Indigo by year-end to implement the many needed #ketcher features suggested by @NFDI4Chem members. This work would not be possible without the technical guidance from Nicole Jung, Stefan Braese and the group at […]

なぜか分からないけどnmrshiftdb のpredictのページがnot foundになる。他にも結構not foundになる。ここ1ヶ月ぐらいずっとなる。仕方がないのでstreamlit とketcher とrdkitを使って、生成AIにお願いして、pythonでもどきアプリを作った。作ったものが動くととっても楽しい😊

New to me games 🎲 I've played recently:

Forest Shuffle - 10/10 amazing replay ability

Winter Rabbit - 20/10 I'm biased cause it's my People's stories but the game is great

Finspan - 7/10 another great 'span' game full of facts

Strawberry Sunset - 6/10 good game, pretty art, enjoyable and quick
