[Jmol-users] Klotho and Jmol

[Robert H. <ha...@st...>]

OK! I've had some fun with "advanced programming" of Jmol. See

At least for this limited set of compounds, this code does a pretty
reasonable job of finding the DL-determining carbon and orienting the model
in relation to it. Lesson: If you ever want to orient a model in a certain
way, consider using a quaternion.

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
