Spec App of the Month: ChemDoodle Mobile

The ChemDoodle Mobile app is designed to allow users to draw chemical structures, view 3D graphics, and generate IUPAC names.

APP NAME: ChemDoodle Mobile

OFFERED BY: IChemLabs, LLC.

PLATFORMS: Android (requires 2.3.3 and up), iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (requires iOS 6.0 or later)

WHAT IT DOES: The ChemDoodle Mobile app is designed to allow users to draw chemical structures, view 3D graphics, and generate IUPAC names. According to the company, the app is accessed through a free ChemDoodle account when ChemDoodle desktop is purchased. Users reportedly can use the Guest account to access the app without purchasing ChemDoodle, but they will not be able to save drawings and some features may be restricted. Logging into the account enables IUPAC naming, full 3D graphics (orthographic lines otherwise), 1H NMR spectra, and saving structures.

Monitoring Sugar Consumption and Ethanol Production During Yeast Fermentation Using a Raman Plate Reader and Multivariate Analysis
This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
Highly Substituted Benzene Rings—The Rest of the Story II: Spectra
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
