#### Open Babel, the Open Source chemistry toolbox

Open Babel is a chemical toolbox designed to speak the many languages of chemical data.

It's an open, collaborative project allowing anyone to search, convert, analyze, or store data from molecular modeling, chemistry, solid-state materials, biochemistry, or related areas.

As well as a GUI, use "snap info openbabel" to list the command-line programs.
