In the first age of Molecular Modelling, we used plastic atoms, green tubing, polystyrene balls and mechanical springs. Then came the professional quantum chemists, with their teletypes, punched cards, FORTRAN programs and impenetrable layers of computer printout. This was the second age. Finally, small boxes with monochrome screens appeared on our desks. Several manufacturers realized that the graphical user interface was the way forward, and with this idea came the third age of molecular modelling. The application of mathematical models to molecules has now reached maturity. Scientists as divers as astrophysicists, biologists, chemists, materials scientists and zoologists now reach for their PC, Mac or laptop to model molecular phenomena of unbeliev able complexity. Highly ionized atomic species in plasmas, zeolites structures, polymer conformational analysis, the activity of pharmaceutical molecules and protein docking are all fair game. Modelling Molecular Structures is: · your guidebook through the myriad applications for molecular modelling · the ONLY introductory text you will need for molecular modelling · indispensable as a teaching and learning tool · extensively referenced, highly illustrated and extremely easy to read A disc containing problems, solutions and BASIC programmes is available directly from the publisher.
