Components with the ability to read and load different format files in a display box. Draw still allowing the molecular structures using a single tool. Ability to store in the database according to the preferred connection.
I believe the TMS software can do better than this and diponibilziar componetnes that are missing in the market.
Formats .cxf reading .mol, .mdl, .cml, .smile, sdf

File formats:
This article discusses some common molecular file formats, including usage and converting between them.
Chemical information is usually provided as files or streams and many formats have been created, with varying degrees of documentation. The format is indicated in three ways (see chemical MIME section)
Chemical Markup Language (CML) is an open standard for representing molecular and other chemical data. The open source project includes XML Schema, source code for parsing and working with CML ...
Chemical table file (CT File) is a family of text-based chemical file formats that describe molecules and chemical reactions. One format, for example, lists each atom in a molecule, the x-y-z coordinates of that atom, and the bonds among the atoms.
There are several file formats in the family.
The formats were created by MDL Information Systems (MDL), which was acquired by Symyx Technologies then merged with Accelrys Corp., and now called BIOVIA, a subsidiary of Dassault Systemes of Dassault Gr...
