Scientific Markdown

Chemistry & Biology Markdown

Turn Markdown into an ELN-friendly scientific page: SMILES, reaction SMILES, medchem SAR tables, SeqViz, phylogenetic trees, 3Dmol.js structures, charts, diagrams, and local attachments.

Scientific renderers

Ohai keeps source text readable while rendering the structures and visuals scientists actually need to inspect.

SMILES Chemistry

Render molecule blocks and inline SMILES without leaving Markdown. Useful for mechanisms, compound notes, and quick structure checks.

MedChem SAR Tables

Place inline SMILES structures beside potency, selectivity, ADME, and notes columns for compact medicinal chemistry reviews.

Reaction SMILES

Show reactants, agents, products, co-reactants, and labels from reaction SMILES in the same report as your rationale.

3D Molecular Views

Use 3Dmol.js-backed structure views for proteins, ligands, surfaces, and model snapshots inside the document.

SeqViz Maps

Render DNA, RNA, and protein sequence maps from text configs or files for construct reviews and protocol notes.

Phylogenetic Trees

Render Newick trees with phylotree.js for biology reviews, taxonomy notes, and sequence-analysis summaries.

Assay Charts

Use Chart.js blocks for dose response, screening summaries, time courses, and data tables that change as analysis scripts rerun.

ELN Attachments

Reference local images, videos, generated plots, data files, and transcluded notes so attachments appear where the experiment is discussed.

Scientific user journeys

Medicinal chemists

Build SAR summaries with compound structures, assay values, reaction context, and exportable decision notes.

Biologists

Keep sequences, construct maps, phylogenetic trees, 3D structures, and protocol attachments in one live reader.

ELN-style notebooks

Use Markdown as a readable experiment page with local attachments, generated figures, and transcluded supporting files.

Review handoff

Export rendered scientific notes to HTML, PDF, or DOCX while keeping the Markdown source easy to audit.
