Structure Drawing and Molecular Mechanics Programs.
Note: This article was scanned using OCR from the Spring 1992 CCCE Newsletter. Please contact us if you identify any OCR errors.
Programs to draw structures and manipulate them are many. This listing includes only those I have literature for. There are more on the market. Upgrades are constantly being made. Prices quoted are for single academic copies. Most suppliers will send you a demonstration disk for a small charge or no charge. Some suppliers will send you programs on an approval basis. Some include minimization programs such as MM2, while for others you must purchase the program separately.
1 consider these programs as word processing programs for chemical structures and more. I believe that one or more should be available to undergraduate chemistry students.
