Chemtool is a useful program when there is a need to create models of molecules for scientific papers. While it is possible to draw and label complex molecules, Chemtool also has built in templates to make this process easier. Specifically, for carbocycles, sugars, heterocycles, and amino acids.
Chemtool has the capability of locking in different bond angles, superimposing text, rotating and copying already built molecules, and calculating molecular weight.
