ChemDraw is a molecular drawing program, essential for students and researchers of chemistry and life sciences. With ChemDraw, drawing molecular structures as well as reaction schemes from small molecules to biomolecules can be done very quickly and efficiently for lab reports, presentations, posters, and publications.
In this course, we provide students of chemistry, materials science, and life sciences with knowledge of the basic ChemDraw functions as well as tips and tricks for efficient use of ChemDraw. We will show you how to use keyboard and mouse shortcuts to become faster. Investing time to learn will save a lot of time in your studies and lab.
