JChem Suite

JChem Suite is a comprehensive software bundle that provides you with a set of powerful tools to manage and edit information in the database you are administering for your academic or research Chemistry projects.

While it is overly sophisticated, the installation can take a couple of minutes, depending on the resources on your computer. Upon installation, the suite creates several shortcuts on your desktop and the first step you should take is to connect to your database.

You will be happy to learn that the tool supports a wide variety of databases, included but not limited to Oracle, MS SQL Server, MS Access, MySQL, IBM DB2, PostgreSQL and Interbase just to name a few. The database server does not have to be installed on the same machine as the manager tool if you are using the suite on a computer connected to the network.

On a side note, if you are having troubles installing or running the suite, then you should keep in mind that you can find extensive documentation on this topic and the bundle's functionality on the developer's website.

As you would expect, the bundle comes with several applications that enable you to manipulate database and their contents. You can refine and organize the information in your database in MarvinSketch, a powerful editor that allows you to create and render three-dimensional structures for the reactions you are working on.

At the same time, you can perform all sorts of calculations, find out the metabolic fate of chemical compounds and make predictions of xenobiotic metabolites, transform chemical structures into canonical representations that can be seamlessly integrated into the database of your choice, just to name a few capabilities of the suite.

JChem Suite is an extensive bundle that can provide Chemistry professionals as well as academic personnel with the means to manage, organize, edit, update, add and delete all relevant information regarding their research in the Chemistry field.
