Abstract
In recent years a number of computerized graphical tools appeared on the market which are of great importance for the chemist, biologist, pharmacologist and toxicologist for the rational molecular design of bioactive compounds such as drugs. In the present paper we want to review several molecular graphics and modeling programs which can be run on microcomputers. An overview is given of available programs discussing of each its possibilités and shortcomings. In particular we introduce a new program named Waalsurf which is a high-quality molecular graphics facility which can be installed on a low-cost PC.
