The most recent version version of MolPrime for Android v1.0.3 adds the ability to share structures on the open web. The Android port of MolPrime was originally released as a technology proof of concept, a work in progress to show that the core functionality of chemical structure drawing has been successfully ported to the other popular mobile platform. Now with the ability to share structures, the free app now starts to take on the role of a useful workflow productivity tool. Continue reading

Molecular drawing tutorial for Android MolPrime
As of soon, the MolPrime app for Android will come with a built-in beginner tutorial, which basically forces you to draw caffeine from scratch. You can watch a playthrough on YouTube, and if you have an Android device, you should be able to check it out for yourself soon. Continue reading
MolPrime for Android now on Google Play
As of now, version 1.0 of MolPrime for Android is available on Google Play. It’s a free app, so if you have an Android device running on operating system 2.3 or later, you can check it out at your leisure. Continue reading
MolPrime for Android: getting close
The Android port of MolPrime is getting very close to being ready for a 1.0 release. The port from iOS (Objective C) to Android (Java) has been underway for some weeks now, and most of the functionality is fully operational. Continue reading
MolPrime+ can now calculate distributions for mass spectroscopy
A new feature has been added to the MolPrime+ app’s property calculation panel: the calculation of an isotopic mass distribution for the structure, which can be used to help interpret mass spectroscopy results. Continue reading
MolPrime for Android getting closer
The Android port of MolPrime is getting closer to being a functional app. As you can see in the two-part snapshot to the right, the both the main screen and the diagram sketcher have enough capabilities to present the initial facade. The sketcher currently only displays the structure and some buttons, but that’s still solid progress.
Say hello to Android!
As the screen capture to the right suggests, Molecular Materials Informatics has gotten out the sonic screwdriver and started porting mobile chemistry tools to the Android platform. Work has begun on porting MolPrime – currently only available for iOS – to Android. Before any Android users get too excited, though, this is just an early preview – it doesn’t do much, and there is no estimated completion time as yet. But if you keep reading this blog, you will get regular progress updates. Continue reading
Super Friday app update, and a positive Apple experience
Most of the apps from Molecular Materials Informatics have been updated recently, due to the iPad3: the retina-class screen has half again as many pixels as a 1080p monitor (i.e. a lot), and the performance profiles of some graphics operations have changed. A few things that were fast became slow, and so a few tweaks were necessary. A whole lot of apps got reviewed and passed in quick succession: MolPrime+, MMDS, MolSync, ODDT and ChemSpider Mobile. Others will follow soon.
MolPrime+ adds stereochemistry and tautomer calculation
The MolPrime+ app has recently been adding new property calculation features. It now provides for the calculation of CIP stereochemistry labels and tautomer interconversions. Continue reading
ACS Talk: Building a mobile app ecosystem for chemistry collaboration
The slides for my recent presentation at the American Chemical Society meeting in San Diego (Spring 2012):
The slides cover a whirlwind tour through some of the apps produced by Molecular Materials Informatics, showing how they can be used together in a realistic chemical information workflow.
