 Hi Alex,
 I have tried Marvin some time ago, but will give it another shot right now due
 to your recommendation.

 those immediately in lots of physical/theoretical chemistry journals by their
 strange look. I have tried those myself. My recommendation is to run ChemDraw in
 a virtual machine. It's not fun, but gives you good results.

 We would like to know the possibilities of working with these softwares in linux
 environment. Alternately, are there any equivalent softwares available in the
 market which have all the features similar to ChemDraw and ISISDraw.
