Short description Molecular modeling is the application of mathematical models to molecules in order to study their structure. The majority of molecular modeling is now performed using computer programs and is a valuable tool for chemists, materials scientist, biochemists and chemical physicists. Being able to visualize a molecule in 3 dimensions on screen is an asset that is widely used by academic researchers and in the chemical industry. e.g. the study of pharmaceutical molecules in drug development
