Computational Chemistry

Understanding physical and chemical phenomena at the electronic and molecular levels has become a necessity in many areas of science and engineering. Computational chemistry plays a major role in providing understanding of different molecular and electronic behaviors. Computational chemistry functions as a complement to experiment and also as the only available method when experiment is not possible.

The Computational Chemistry group at NCSA supports a wide range of computational chemistry and computational biology software. We provide a variety of services to NCSA users: consulting, training, collaboration, porting, and benchmarking. We also actively participate in portals and grid-based tools development to enable access to the varied and distributed computing facilities .
