Hey guys, it wasn't the caffeine I was thinking about, it's the aspartame.
> Yeah, that kind of stuff is fun. I've got one of those ball & stick model kits for making molecules. I don't know if I have enough carbon balls to build two citalopram molecules, though. I wonder at which carbon the bonds are being switched in the making of escitalopram. I'm looking at a 2-D depiction.

You could have the fluorinated benzene ring coming toward you and the N,N-dimethylpropylamine chain going away from you, or vice versa: with the N,N-dimethylpropylamine chain comming toward you, etc. You think that's what they're doing?

I wonder what politics are behind IE not supporting CHIME. I may be paranoid too, but I bet there are some sordid dynamics underlying the whole deal...
