Molecular modelling and M Guide - Resources and Review

Refereed chemistry journal that aims to take advantage of modern electronic communication techniques. Subject areas include computer
aided molecular design, quantum chemistry, visualisation, classification and handling of chemical data, rational drug design, protein and peptide modelling, molecular mechanics/dynamics simulation of polymers and biopolymers, prediction of biological activities (QSAR) and physico-chemical properties (QSPR), genetic algorithms and neural nets, and catalyst modelling.
 
Searchable database of three
dimensional structures determined by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Structural data is cross-linked to bibliographic information, sequence databases, and to the NCBI taxonomy.
 
Collection of slides explaining macroscopic thermodynamic properties in terms of microscopic properties of chemical systems. Provides information on the Boltzmann distribution function, polymers and biopolymers in statistical dynamics, and the relation of statistical mechanics to thermodynamics.
 
Electronic and Internet
accessible tools and resources for molecular biology, biotechnology, molecular evolution, genetics, biochemistry and biomolecular modelling. Includes links to protein and DNA data analysis servers which provide sequence and structural homology searches etc.
 
Electronic journal for chemists where short refereed papers on experimental data records for individual molecules are published. Focusing on unconventional, experimental data such as starting materials and synthetic intermediates, items are searchable by substructure or chemical and physical characteristics.
 
Annotated links to 15 online journals and magazines about molecular modelling and nanotechnology.
 
The primary objective of the CLIC consortium is to introduce and set standards for new ways of communicating molecular science, to specialists and to a larger, more diverse audience in education and industry. The intention is to enhance the perception, understanding, availablity and quality of scientific knowledge. Subjects covered within the broad area of chemistry are the development of molecular computers, high temperature superconductors, and advances in biotechnology.
 
Tutorial designed to assist students to construct models of molecules using model kits. Includes definitions of molecular shape, electron pair geometry, non
metal bonding patterns, and a self-assessment quiz.
 
Links to full papers submitted to this conference on molecular nanotechnology conference, held in California in November 1998. Topics covered include Nanostressing and Mechanochemistry, Electrical Conductance of Molecular Wires, and Molecular Analogue Memory Cell.
 
Provides informative articles on disease and disease management issues, free molecular modelling software, an online pharmacology guide, healthcare bookmarks, contact details, and news.
 
Resource for the study of molecular structure, in which X
ray crystallography and molecular mechanics techniques are used to calculate the structures of 'interesting' molecules. The site contains rotatable models of minerals from Anhydrite to Wulfenite and information on amino acids, nucleotides, poisons, vitamins, Boron Hydrides and macromolecules.
 
Theochem publishes research related to the theory and modelling of molecular systems, including electronic structure, graphical approaches to structure and properties, molecular modelling, reaction dynamics and scattering, spectroscopic and experimental studies, and statistical mechanics.
 
Hypertextbook covering the physics and mathematics behind Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Includes chapters on spin physics, spectroscopy and pulse sequences, and provides explanatory graphics which can be viewed alongside the text, a glossary and a list of symbols.
 
Course of eight lectures and lecture
demonstrations which aim to introduce in a simple way the hierarchy of computational modelling methods used as standard tools by organic chemists for searching for, rationalising and predicting structure and reactivity of organic, bio-organic and organometallic molecules.
 
Collection of information about nanotechnology, including molecular nanotechnology, scanning probe microscopy, molecular modelling, nanoelectronics and micromachining, mailing lists and electronic magazines and journals.
 
Collection of links to information about interesting or significant molecules, with a new entry being added each month. All pages are available in HTML format, with others also offered as Chime, VRML, or Java versions.
