a really excellent CHIME site, with tools and tutorials. Unfortunately, you can't get the site to work right with MS Internet Explorer™ even with the IE version of CHIME installed, so access it with Netscape Communicator™ 4.75 or 4.76.

"eChem is a simplified and learner-centered design version of professional visualizing tools. It allows students to build and manipulate three-dimensional models of molecules with a visualizer module. It also allows students to compare computationally predicted properties of the molecule with properties they observe in the laboratory. All views and modules are linked together, allowing the student to easily switch between various representations of the molecule."

I've tried it and it really is easy to use. Aimed at a high school audience, it has potential uses in higher ed as well.

side-by-side Chime views of about 400 molecules listed alphabetically -- and it works with the IE version of Chime!

links to many other sites featuring 3D Chime presentations of  molecules from those marvelous purveyors of Chime, the RasMol offspring that has revolutionized molecular visualization and made it available to all.

the models aren't interactive, but they are nicely and concisely discussed. I liked this picture of ferrocene so much I used a smaller size as the molecular modeling icon in an earlier incarnationof this site.

Has the "Common Chemicals" page and lots more

http://www.molecules.org/

lots of good stuff here -- check it out!

http://www.wellesley.edu/Chemistry/Flick/molecules/newlist.html 

a very nice Chime site with hundreds of molecules indexed by central atom, formula, or name. Each individual picture has its own "control panel"  that has some of the normal Chime popup functions and some additional features like bond lengths and torsion angles. Works with both Netscape and IE versions of Chime!

A very nice Chime site with over 1400 molecules on file. The more I visit, the better I like it -- so much so that it's now one of my primary references for my CHEM 30B course. And bright-colored text on a black background, too -- what a great look!

GIF, VRML, and PDB files. You'll need Cosmo Player for the VRML and Chime/RasMol or WebLab for the PDB files.

http://www.bio.cmu.edu/Courses/BiochemMols/

Received uniform 5-star ratings from MERLOT peer reviewers on 7/22/01. This Chime-based site has excellent tutorials [some cleverly disguised as quizzes] on the use of Chime and RasMol, small molecules, protein architecture, glycolysis and the TCA cycle, and much more. A definite winner!  My IE 5.5 version of Chime 2.0 worked on this site, but a few micro-quasi-glitches or hesitations imply that Netscape 4.7x with Chime/Chimescape is probably more reliable.

http://www2.kenyon.edu/depts/biology/BMB/chime.htm

Really excellent Chime-based tutorials that work with Chime 2.6 SP4
in either MS IE 5.5/6.0 or Netscape 4.7x [and, I've been told, Netscape 7]
Previous plugin problems have been fixed!

a freely accessible resource for structural biologists who are dealing with hetero-compounds ("small molecules"); provided and maintained by Gerard Kleywegt at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Uppsala University.
PDB files [VRML and Chime views] and lots of associated goodies!

http://www.imb-jena.de/IMAGE.html

a really extensive database; when you select an entry, a page with a GIF picture like the one shown comes up; you can then usually choose to view the molecule with RasMol or Chime

http://www.wsu.edu/~wherland/wwwlist03.htm

Viewable with Chime, RasMol [Berkeley version] or WebLab Viewer; >300 structures available.

neat CHIME stuff with a small but reasonable collection of molecules; I've been using this site extensively in my own teaching until I get my own put together

http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/mo/

a program that enables you to pick and choose from a RasMol display only those portions of a molecule that you are interested in.

lots of good stuff here -- really good tutorials and more

tutorials and an interesting "calibrated" peer-review student writing center

works best with the Netscape version of Chime, although I was able to access a large part of the site with the IE version. Beautifully-done tutorials on about 30 topics of particular interest to cell and molecular biologists.

  need viewer like RasMol or CHIME to view .pdb files. They also have a "molecule of the month" section with nonmanipulable images.

Use Netscape!  A nice selection of 40+ inorganic and 90+ organic compounds, including the notorious hypoglycin, seen at left, from the ackee fruit.

The remainder of the UWI chemistry site is also well worth exploring.

you can download software and get involved in solving some problems, but there is also a lot of useful background related to protein folding.

This site provides an excellent and extensive background on the physical and chemical characteristics of the quintessential elixir -- the stuff that has everything to do with life as we know it. Has COW and Chime depictions of many molecular arrangements. For a different perspective, you might also want to check out Steve Lower's AquaScams site in the pseudoscience section.

As Brigham Young said, "This is the place!" 

As Eric Martz says, "USE NETSCAPE!" for Chime stuff

As Ron says: NOT the dreaded Netscape 6!!!
