A number of Web sites in the UK and elsewhere have agreed to update regularly
a "molecule-of-the-month" page. This is intended to be a forum where interesting
stories about molecules are told. Some of the stories will be about relatively
simple molecules, which perhaps have an interesting scientific history. Others will
be about "state-of-the-art" molecules which represent the pinnacle of current
chemical research.
We intend the molecules in this collection to be "hyperactive", ie you should be able to rotate them
in 3D if you have suitable software on your computer. Proceed as follows
Set the Helper types in your Browser configuration to recognise the following
MIME type: chemical/x-pdb and filename suffix .pdb, and associate this with your 3D viewer. If you have
configured correctly, then clicking on the images in the display should activate your viewer
with the molecule in its window.
