What's in the Fragment Library?

The Fragment Library contains a large collection of organic compounds (aromatic, bicyclic, amines,  carboxylic acids, nucleic acids, amino acids), various drugs, inorganic compounds, organometallic complexes, transition metal complexes, commonly used ions and key functional groups. 

The Fragment Library folder is located in the CAChe folder which is generally located in the Program Files/Fujitsu folder on the the C: drive.

Task: Access the Fragment Library.

Time: 3 minutes

  1. Select File|Open.  The Open dialog box appears.
  2. Click on the down arrow in the "Look in:" box:

  3. Click on:
    bulletLocal Disk (C:)
    bulletProgram Files
    bulletFujitsu
    bulletCAChe
    bulletFragment Library
  4. After you open the Fragment Library, another list of folders will be displayed. Search in this list for the fragment you want to use.

In the next lesson you will modify a molecule from the Fragment Library to build another molecule
