ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF ACCUMODEL, THE FIRST PRODUCT OF THE CHEMINFO-3D FAMILY OF SOFTWARE TO CREATE, ANALYZE AND EVALUATE 3D CHEMICAL STRUCTURES ON DESKTOP COMPUTERS MAHWAH, New Jersey-August 28, 1996-MicroSimulations Corp., an exciting new innovator of molecular design, visualization, and analysis software, today announced it's ChemInfo 3D family of applications to build, visualize, and analyze molecular structures and associated functionality that will enable chemists to accelerate the discovery process. The first product from this series, AccuModel, are released today. Another product, PowerFit, will be introduced in another posting. A number of products are in beta test and will be released this fall, including Property3D for calculating molecular properties based on 3D structures, BioPad for protein sequence drawing and display, and PowerDock for molecular docking. The features in AccuModel 1.0 give chemists the capability to build, view and analyze chemical structures on their PC or PowerPC desktop. The chemist can build a structure using the fragment library, or can import 2D drawings from ISIS/Draw or ISIS/Base. The drawing can be converted automatically into 3D, and can be viewed in wire-frame, ball-stick, and CPK models. Analysis features include distance, bond angle, and torsion measurements. Moreover, the chemist can activate the MM3 force field to enable quick and accurate structural optimization. MM3 was developed by Prof. Norman Allinger, University of Georgia, and is widely accepted as the most accurate molecular mechanics force field. Designed for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, ChemInfo3D desktop system enables medicinal chemists to visualize, analyze and evaluate chemical structures and is essential to efficient, productive molecular research. AccuModel is for use on Windows 95, Windows NT, and PowerPC and are available for immediate delivery.
