Molecule Actions

This section is about copying and duplicating molecules in the bench.

• Sometimes, we manually attach R-groups or compound fragments when performing fragment-based drug discovery.

• This is especially important in the case of molecular match pairs, and many users utilize this feature.

• The copy function, in particular, is frequently used.

• Fragments can be attached manually rather than through Hyper Design using this function.

• Also, this function would allow sharing your molecules.

Duplicate molecules

• Click on the checkbox, and an action bar will appear at the bottom of the window.

• By clicking the arrow next to Duplicate, you will see two options.

• To share your molecules with project members, click on Project bench. You can find your duplicated molecules in the Project bench. They will be renamed with '_duplicated' after your molecule names.

• To copy your molecules, click My bench. They will be renamed with '_duplicated' after your molecule names.

Draw to copy

• To use your molecules as a scaffold, you can use Draw to copy option.

• Click on Draw to copy, a molecule editing window will appear with your molecule.

• Modify the molecule and click Add to duplicate it.

Delete molecules

• Click the Delete button to delete the selected molecule.

The other button on the notice bar will be explained in another section.
