Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Molecular modeling tools for desktop computers now complete calculations in minutes or seconds that mainframes formerly needed days or weeks to accomplish. Most current modeling products available for both Macintosh and PC platforms will be reviewed. This is an update of a similar paper presented at the 206th National Meeting of the ACS, although it includes many new products, with new functions, that were not available in 1993. The review will concentrate on products that at least have minimization capabilities, with data presented on cost, size, ease of use, support, functions, graphics and results from standard tests using carbohydrate structures. The advantages and disadvantages of the reviewed products will be identified, all from the carbohydrate chemist's point of view.
