ChemSymphony (Cherwell
Scientific Publishing Company, Oxford, U.K.)
ChemSymphony is a platform- independent set of interactive JAVA
applets which allows 3-D molecular structures to be easily
incorporated into HTML documents, a revolutionary entry into
electronic publishing of scientific publications on the Web.
Downloading of JAVA -enabled browser from Netscape, or
Internet Explorer, is required to execute applets.
Structures can be viewed in real-time, rendered in a variety of
styles, and then edited by the user. Mouse functionality is quite
simple to use: -drag to rotate molecule- -shift-drag to zoom
in/out- control-drag to translate- ChemSymphony is truly ideal
for scientific papers being published in Internet journals with
focus on molecular modeling, molecular design, conformational
analysis. Pharmacophoric geometric requirements, for example, can
easily be displayed to prospective readers.
An introductory subscription to the service is only $49 (U.S.
Dollars) to download and strongly recommended to those doing
pioneering research publication in hyperspace.
