glucose

Summary

Draw atoms in different colors and place them in different places of space, thus obtaining a molecule. To do this, you need to know the coordinates, that's why chemical expert system Open Babel is used, so you need to install it as a prerequisite package on your system to run successfully following scripts:

apt-get install python-openbabel

Using it, you can transform the SMILES formula to the list of atoms coordinates. SMILES can be found in Wikipedia articles about various substances.

For example, glucose: OC[C@H]1OC(O)[C@H](O)[C@@H](O)[C@@H]1O.

And its coordinates:
