Talk:JadeDamon2

Cpd dimers: Excellent. Quite an essay though, a couple of paragraphs would have been enough.

Taxol: Your link to jmol structure 4 is broken. However, the energy looks fine so I’ll assume the structure is correct. Good to see you thinking about the relative energies of each conformation of the six-membered ring, but could you not have calculated and then plotted them for a quantitative analysis?

Carbene: I suspect that, had you chosen slightly different parameters in your overlay, you wouldn’t have seen such a mismatch between the two structures. Excellent discussion, however.

Glycosidation: Good discussion, also good to see you investigating the angle of attack.

Taxol Take 2: Excellent.

Mini-project: Nice visual analysis using bar charts. One point though, try to make the scales on each the same, this emphasises that you have a much better agreement on one isomer than the other. And you don’t have to start the label of a barchart with the word ‘barchart’. Very good project though,

Overall: An excellent project. But for future reference, you don’t get more points the more words you write; try being a little more concise.
