Chemical Information Viewers

The capabilities of the World Wide Web make it possible to view chemical information in many different ways. Now, instead of static, two-dimensional GIFs, it is possible to interact with molecular modeling programs. This is possible through the use of Chemical MIME. Another part of the trick is having the right program to view the information. This web pages is an attempt to list the various MIME types and the programs that can be used.

You have two choices for finding information on these programs:

View by Platform

A listing of programs according to the type of platform (Mac, MS Windows, Unix)

View by Chemical MIME type

A listing of programs according to the chemical MIME type they read
If you are not sure what Chemical MIME is or just want a little more background, take a look at the following pages:

Or

After you've found the program you need, you will need to configure your Web Browser to use the viewer.
