Molecular Modelling and Bioinformatics Resources

This section of the website is a compilation of useful computational chemistry and bioinformatics software, websites, books, and other general use software to aid one in molecular modelling and bioinformatic endeavors. The lists provided here are not extensive, and are no means a complete list of available software or websites. This portion of the MMBStudio website is divided into five general categories and each continues to grow.

• The Computational Chemistry and Bioinformatics Software section contains a small list of the software available for various tasks. Most of the software listed on this page is available in the MMBStudio for the education of those afiliated with the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology. Most of the software is free (or offered at a reduced price) to academics.
• The listing of Websites contains two distinct sections: (a) Websites for primarily molecular modelling and bioinformatics research and (b) Educational resources. Several of the Educational resources were compiled by those participating in the "No Teacher Left Behind" course taught in the summer of 2004.
• The Books webpage contains books relative to computational chemistry, molecular biology (biochemistry), chemistry, bioinformatics, programming, shell scripting, and system administration.
• The General Software page is a listing of software that is useful not only to computational chemistry and bioinformatics, but also those interested in the sciences and computer programming (writing code). Most of the software is free (or offered at a reduced price) to academics.
• The Small Molecule Repository is the result of the "No Teacher Left Behind" course taught in the summer of 2004. In the course we discussed ab initio calculations and the information obtained from them. Since the teachers have limited budgets and resources it was concluded that having a repository of compounds with physical data available would be useful to them in teaching organic concepts such as HOMO and LUMO orbitals.
