Computer Aided Molecular Design (CAMD) is a family of methodologies that facilitate the prediction of molecular properties including ab initio moledular modeling, molecular dynamics and the use of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR).  This page is dedicated to our work using CAMD to design new molecular structures for targeted applications .

Please visit the site frequently, since other model applets will be posted as they are developed and existing applets revised as we receive your input.

About the Applets

The applets are Maple worksheets made web-accessible via MapleNet.  This process calls on Java, a programming language that enables you to talk to many web-based applications, including those using MapleNet.  You will need to have an updated version, at least Version 6 Update 20, to be sure that all of the applet features will work.  If you are using the Internet, you are likely already using Java, it’s free and easy ot access if you do not have it.  Go to the following website if you would like to or need to update your Java:
