Reactant List Format<br />

A Reactant sheet with imported data contains the<br />

following columns:<br />

• Structure<br />

• Use (Y/N)<br />

NOTE: Other columns may be included, depending on the<br />

method used to import the data.<br />

Structure Column<br />

The Structure column is headed by the generic<br />

structure that represents all of the reactants on this<br />

sheet. Use the Show Picture/Hide Picture<br />

commands to toggle the display.<br />

Use (Y/N)<br />

<strong>Com</strong>biChem/Excel adds a “Use (Y/N)” column to<br />

your imported data. When you create experiments,<br />

you enter Y or N in this field to select whether you<br />

want to use that reactant in that experiment. For<br />

more information, see “Creating Experiments”<br />

below.<br />

performing some property calculations on these<br />

products, you might decide that 10% of these<br />

products are worth synthesizing in the lab. You<br />

could then create a new experiment with just those<br />

products that the calculations show to be<br />

promising.<br />

To create a new experiment:<br />

1. On each reactant sheet, select the reactants to<br />

use by typing a Y in their “Use(Y/N)” column.<br />

Type a N for those reactants you do not wish<br />

to use.<br />

NOTE: Cells without “n” or “N” default to “Y”.<br />

2. On the <strong>Com</strong>biChem submenu, point to<br />

Experiments then click New.<br />

Other Data<br />

Other columns contain data from the SDFile or<br />

ChemFinder database you imported, such as<br />

formula, molecular weight, or Mol_ID. This data is<br />

not used by <strong>Com</strong>biChem. You can delete it if you<br />

wish.<br />

Creating Experiments<br />

A experiment is a library of product molecules,<br />

created from the reaction template and the reactant<br />

lists you imported or entered manually. You can use<br />

<strong>Com</strong>biChem/Excel to create, or enumerate,<br />

multiple experiments per workbook.<br />

For example, you can take all the reactants you<br />

imported and enumerate an experiment containing<br />

all possible combinations of reactants. After<br />

A dialog box appears asking if you want to<br />

create the experiment with the selected number<br />

of reactants.<br />

NOTE: Enumeration of a product library may take a long<br />

time, especially if there are many reactants or you are using a<br />

slower processor.<br />

3. Click Yes when you are satisfied with the<br />

number of reactants to process.<br />
