WebMO Help - Fragments

Fragments

Pre-defined structure fragments or molecules can be inserted into the editor, saving the effort of manually creating them and adjusting their geometry.

Adding a Fragment

Add a fragment: From the build tool, choose Build:Fragment..., select the category and fragment, and click OK. Click in the editor window to add the chosen fragment.


Fragment Dialog Box

Moving a Fragment

When adding a fragment to an existing molecule, it is often useful to move the fragment relative to the molecule.

Move a fragment: From the adjust tool, select the fragment by dragging a box around it or by selecting an atom and choosing Adjust:Select Molecule. Then use Adjust:Rotate Selection and Adjust:Translate Selection to move the fragment relative to other atoms in the editor.

Extending the Fragment Library

The fragment library can be extended by the WebMO system administrator using the Fragment Manager. Any WebMO job can be imported into the fragment library, making the molecular structure readily available within the editor to all users.
