GUI Button Functions

Delete Bond: Click on two beads, then click the delete button to remove the bond between molecules.

Add Bond: Click on two beads, then click the add bond button to remove the bond between molecules.

Library: The library is a drop-down menu of molecules that Beadweaver can access. You can select the molecule of interest, and that molecule will be loaded.

Select: First, select the beads from the current structure by clicking them. Then click the select button. A menu will appear; type in the name of the new structure. That new structure can be used in New Molecule and will be added to the Library.

New Molecule: Allows the user to insert a new molecule into the GUI using a string format. First, click Delete Molecule, then click New Molecule. Enter the name of the new molecule and click OK. A second command box will appear; enter the new molecule string.

Format: bond#<molecule name>bond#-bond#<molecule name>bond# or bond#(bond molecule#(bond#<molecule name>bond#-bond#<letters>bond#

Example: 0<KDO>1-2<KDO>0 or 0<KDO>1-2<KDO>1-1(1(3<KDO>0

Labels: toggles on and off all labels
