Task tutorial

Create a 2D SVG structure from SMILES

Turn one molecule written as text into a scalable 2D structure drawing in the browser.

You will make

A sharp SVG structure drawing of aspirin, made without a backend.

Steps

  1. Open the browser molecular analysis page.
  2. Paste the aspirin SMILES: CC(=O)OC1=CC=CC=C1C(=O)O
  3. Run the analysis and inspect the generated drawing.
CC(=O)OC1=CC=CC=C1C(=O)O

Expected result

An aspirin structure appears as SVG. You can zoom it without turning the bonds and labels into pixels.

If it does not work

If no drawing appears, first retry with the supplied complete SMILES. An unmatched bracket, ring digit, or quote will make a SMILES invalid.
