The Scientifically Intelligent Drawing Suite for Chemists and Biologists

The ChemDraw® Professional 17 suite provides scientists with an up-to-date collection of scientifically intelligent applications for chemical structure drawing and analysis combined with biological pathway drawing.

ChemDraw® Professional 17 is the industry standard structure drawing suite for the serious professional to draw accurate, chemically-aware structures for use in database queries (including direct searching in SciFinder), preparation of publication-quality graphics, and entry for modeling and other programs that require an electronic description of molecules and reactions as well as advanced prediction tools and full Web integration using the ChemDraw ActiveX/Plugin.

ChemDraw® Professional 17 also provides a drawing tool for biological pathways. It includes common pathway elements (membranes, DNA, enzymes, receptors, etc.) as well as the ability to import other entities. One of the advantages over alternative pathway drawing tools is the integrated power of ChemDraw's chemical intelligence. ChemDraw Professional is the gold standard for chemical and biological drawing, publication, and query preparation.

ChemDraw Professional Windows includes ChemDraw Professional and ChemFinder (W). It also features ChemDraw for Excel (W), ChemDraw ActiveX plug-in, and Name=Struct.
