Molecular modeling visualization

Because authors present correlation equations in different ways, a uniform pattern of presentation is employed. For each example given, the following information is provided the author(s), the bulk property with its units, the number and types of compounds in the data set, the types of descriptors used, and QM methods employed. Computer programs used in molecular model visualization, QM calculation, descriptor calculation, and statistical calculation will be mentioned. More information on some of the computer programs available for these purposes may be found in two chapters in...

Elucidating the stable conformations (conformers) of molecules and the possible transitions among these conformers is one of the most fundamental problems of computational chemistry. Conformational studies were performed long before the availability of computers using mechanical models, and the computer became the most important tool in the analysis of molecular structure only after substantial efforts had been devoted to hardware and software development (see Molecular Models Visualization). In addition to manipulating molecules on the screen (see Molecular Models Visualization), computational approaches can exploit an extremely broad spectrum of conformational analysis methods, ranging from a simple search using a molecular mechanics (MM) potential to Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in the presence of explicit solvent.

Enhancements such as Molecular Inventor, which add chemical object functionality to VRML would also greatly enhance the utility of this concept, but this aspect was still not well developed at the time of writing, A more detailed technical description of VRML is available in Molecular Models Visualization, and here we will confine ourselves to a simple example of how VRML can be used to create a simple 3D visualization tool, and examples of its application to chemistry, ...
