A good article to tie things together: Journal of Cheminformatics
http://www.jcheminf.com/content/4/1/17 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3542060/pdf/1758-2946-4-17.pdf Some of the many very cool Science Tools available via FOSS Aside from the interesting science, you be the judge as to how it may be deemed a big success in the free and open source program projects DebiChem Molecular Mechanics debichem-molmech using Wheezy Debian # aptitude update <enter> aptitude install debichem-molmec <enter> then running avogadro from the Science menu avogadro can tie into kalzium too The reason I became interested was after running a java based program called jmol on my android devices. Then I started being dissatisfied with some of the android apps and also jmol running on a workstation, I had to reboot remotely, as the java program managed to lock up Xwin. I prefer the way double carbon bonds are shown in avogadro over that of jmol. See buckminsterfullerene or buckyball In avogadro --> File Import --> Fetch Chemical Structure --> buckyball In jmol --> File --> Get MOL --> buckyball or buckminsterfullerene if you enjoy typing:) or try --> cyclohexane how about --> caffeine not to mention: 1qgt.pdb and other complex human hepatitis b virus files 2g33, 2qij, 3kxs.pdb A fascinating world revealed of three dimensional graphic representations of atoms, molecules, dna, and organic molecules. I started off as a means to looking into a crystalline structure of an easy to grow crystal. Dept of Chemistry -teaching -- U of Cambridge http://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/teaching/crystals Yup, they use (java) jmol on their web site. The new man made nano materials like graphenes fascinate me. So much at your fingertips, just dive into.
