A new version of WebMolecules.com is now available at:

http://www.webmolecules.com

New Features:
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Over 50,000 CAS-indexed molecular models have been added.
  Search these by CAS number
  http://www.webmolecules.com/search.shtml

- Support for PDB-type files has been added.
  (Chime plug-in required for access)
  PDB files located in Category 23.0 - Proteins
  PDB files located in Category 18.0 - Nucleic Acids

- New User Uploads section. See Category 28.0

- Mirror sites for the Chime plug-in have been added. See:

Other Recent Upgrades and New Features
--------------------------------------------------------------
- 100's of large structures have been added.
  For example: DNA, RNA, C180, C240, cyclodextrin, 
  vitamin B12, large nanotech models, crystals, etc.
- Support for both Chime and VRML plug-ins
- For performance reasons, large molecules (>150 atoms)
  are available for the Chime viewer only.
- Mirror sites for the VRML plug-ins have been added. See:
  http://www.webmolecules.com/vrmlint.shtml
- Resizable viewing window
- Support for uploads and model requests
- Improved support for bookmarks
- 3D coordinate downloads

--------------------------------------------------------------
WebMolecules.com is a FREE, sponsor-supported site.
Designed for the 3D visualization of molecules,
it contains over 50,000 molecular structures in 3D.

Thousands of common molecules are organized into 30+
categories.  Included are molecules of commercial value, 
educational importance, and of topical interest. It is 
indexed by formula and category and is also fully searchable.

Included are structures such as:
- Top 50 pollutants
- Top 100 commercial chemicals
- Top 200 pharmaceuticals
- Common valence geometries
- Common orbital configurations

WebMolecules.com is great for student and classroom use.

Enjoy.
