How to make an SAR table

Draw the core with R1, R2 and so on as atom labels, then choose View › SAR table. The compounds are the other structures on the page, or a pasted table with a SMILES column.

Steps

  1. Draw the core, with R1, R2 and so on as atom labels. See How to change atoms.

  2. Draw the compounds on the same page, or have a table with a SMILES column ready.

  3. Choose Main menu › View › SAR table.

  4. For activity values, paste a table with a header row, a name column and numbers. Add a SMILES column and its rows become the compounds.

  5. Press Copy as CSV to take it to a spreadsheet.
