Hi, May's MOTM is Adrenaline, and has been written by Frank Oellien of Erlangen University in Germany. It is a superb set of pages, using adrenaline as an example molecule to highlight all the excellent VRML 3D molecular visualisation packages that have been developed at Erlangen recently. These include calculating the IR spectrum of the molecule and seeing an animation of the vibrations, calculating the shape of the various molecular orbitals, and getting real-time info about bond angles and atom-atom distances. These work best with a VRML browser like Cosmoplayer, but other versions of the page exist for Chime, Java and plain HTML viewers. Enjoy. http://www2.ccc.uni-erlangen.de/projects/ChemVis/motm/index.html or the MOTM page: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Regards, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Paul May, School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, UK tel: +44 (0)117 928-9927, fax: +44 (0)117 925-1295 <mailto:paul.may@bris.ac.uk> <http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/staff/pwm.htm> "When did you last see the statue of a critic or the biography of a committee?"
