I'm a student at MIT (The Institvte). I edit somewhat randomly on all science related pages.

I should probably focus a bit more on Drugs and Molecular and Cellular Bio.

[edit] How I Draw Structures

1. I use ChemDraw with settings from User:Rune.welsh/Structures. Those settings are:

   Chain angle: 120 degrees
   Bond spacing: 15
   Fixed length: 2.566 cm
   Bold width: 0.3 cm
   Line width: 0.107 cm
   Margin width: 0.15 cm
   Hash spacing: 0.1 cm

2. I use ChemDraw to convert a structural formula to a drawing or I find a chemical on PubChem, download the associated SDF or XML file, and use OpenBabel to convert it to a .MOL file (and import it in ChemDraw).

3. I select and copy the drawing and paste it into Photoshop, adding a 75 pixel border to the image and then exporting it as a PNG. As for sizing, I leave the image at its original size.

4. Finally, I include this in the image upload:
