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
