It's raining outside...

Assalamu'alaikum (Peace be upon you)

On one rainy evening...

Monologue:
It's raining here, so it must be raining there also (referring to an open air futsal court located just a few blocks away)
Nobody's going to play in the rain. I think I'll just sleep...

Next morning...

Dialogue:
A: Hey, man, why didn't you play futsal yesterday? Only me and my friend showed up.
B: It's raining, man...right?
A: Nope...
B: Err...It was raining in my housing area, so I assumed it was also raining over there.

Moral of the story:

We can't just assume all the time...
Sometimes, we need to go out there and take a look by ourselves...

Coupled Reaction...

Assalamu'alaikum...

This is NOT an assignment-related entry...
This entry has got NOTHING to do with chemistry...

Dating is like chilling out at the edge of a cliff...
You can indulge in the relaxing wind...
Fantastic scenery...

BUT...
If you're not careful, you can fall off the cliff...

IF
you're already chilling out at the edge of the cliff, please be careful...

IF
you already fell and survive the fall, climb back up...
and stay away from the cliff...
It's not easy, but it's not impossible...

IF
you're thinking of going to the cliff for the first time...
think not ONCE, TWICE, or THRICE...
but think HARD...
Because the impact of the fall might kill you...

Remember...
You CAN always indulge in the relaxing wind and enjoy fantastic scenery somewhere safer...
The power is in your hand...

XML...

Assalamu'alaikum (Peace be upon you)

Yet, another assignment-related post...
This time it's about XML (Extensible Markup Language)

Molecular Mechanics	Semi Empirical	Ab Initio
Very Fast Speed	Fast Speed	Slow Speed
Parameter Restriction	Good Accuracy	Very Good Accuracy

Never enough...

Assalamu'alaikum (Peace be upon you)

When you see someone beautiful, you fell for her...
Then you see another beautiful girl...
You fell for her also...
The cycle continues on and on and on...

When you see a beautiful car, you want her...
Then you see another beautiful car...
You want her also...
The cycle continues on and on and on...

When you see your face in the mirror, you noticed a dark spot...
Then you see your face in another mirror...
You see another dark spot...
The cycle continues on and on and on...

The fact is:
You're a human...
Nothing is ever enough for you...

Ra's al Ghul...RasMol?

Assalamu'alaikum (Peace be upon you)

Ra's al Ghul is the name of a villain in Batman...

But RasMol, according to Wikipedia is a computer program written for molecular graphics visualization intended and used primarily for the depiction and exploration of biological macromolecule structures, such as those found in the Protein Data Bank. It was originally developed by Roger Sayle in the early 90s.

Historically, it was an important tool for molecular biologists since the extremely optimized program allowed the software to run on (then) modestly powerful personal computers. Before RasMol, visualization software ran on graphics workstations that, due to their expense, were less accessible to scholars. RasMol has become an important educational tool as well as continuing to be an important tool for research in structural biology.

Here is an example of lexA protein on display using RasMol;

When SMILES mean more than a smile.

Assalamu'alaikum (Peace be upon you)

Unfortunately, it's assignment-related post again...

SMILES (Simplified molecular input line entry specification) is a specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings.

"What the....?"

Well, since a picture worth a thousand words, here are some of the pictures that might (or might not) help you understand what SMILES notation is...

(note: SMILES notation are the ones that are located below each chemical structure)

EXCEL-lent!

Assalamu'alaikum (Peace be upon you)

Unfortunately, this blog needs to be used for assignment purpose (again)

Here are some of the "magic" of the "fantastic" software; Microsoft Excel:

The Magic of ChemSketch

Assalamu'alaikum (Peace be upon you)

Are you tired of drawing chemical structures?
Need an easier and more interesting way to help you with your drawings?

If "Yes!" is your answer, ChemSketch is the answer to your prayers.

ChemSketch is designed to be used for drawing chemical structures, reactions, and schematic diagrams.

Here are some examples of ChemSketch magic:
