MoluCAD
...a molecular modeling and visualization tool
MoluCAD is a full-featured molecular modeling and visualization tool designed for Windows. Originally conceived as an aid for students of organic chemistry, MoluCAD has quickly evolved into much more. The latest version incorporates many advanced features only found in expensive workstation-based modeling packages. Ease of use, premium graphical quality, and computational robustness are the trademarks of MoluCAD. Novice users are able to quickly generate models, view them form any perspective, create reaction animations, and save all data to disk. MoluCAD is distributed by download from this website.
