MOLEKEL
Last Update: 12-16-2000

Description:
MOLEKEL is an interactive three-dimensional molecular graphics package that represents molecules as wire frame, stick, ball-and-stick. It can measures atom-atom distances, angels and torsion angels. It can also superimpose molecules, calculates and displays isosurfaces of electron and spin densities as well as molecular orbitals from the output of various electronic structure calculation programs. MOLEKEL uses texture mapping to color code any surface according to e.g. the molecular electrostatic potential. It can animate geometry optimizations, trajectory files and multiple coordinate PDB files. It can also display vibrational modes. It can be used only on Silicon Graphics Indigo Computers.
