Description

Mathematica is used to generate 3D spacefill and stick and ball models of molecules that can be manipulated in real time with nVizx.

In this example, the cisplatin molecule is generated in both stick and ball and spacefill models. Cisplatin was selected for this example because it is a relatively simple molecule that illustrates the profound effect isomeric structure can have on biological activity. The cis isomer shown here is an effective anti-cancer agent. The trans isomer has essentially no anti-cancer activity.

This simulation requires a free download of Splinex nVizx for dynamic viewing. A hyperlink to http://www.splinex.com/ is contained in the notebook text.
