WebMO is a web-based interface for major quantum chemistry programs, utilizing a server-client architecture to provide access to computational chemistry programs from a standard web browser. It offers tools such as a 3-D molecular editor, pre-defined calculation types, job submission and monitoring, visualization of results, and user management tools. The universal accessibility and uniform interface of WebMO minimize barriers to using advanced computational chemistry in teaching and research.
WebMO is a web-based interface for all major quantum chemistry programs. WebMO uses a server-client architecture that installs on a single server or cluster computer and provides access to state-of-the-art computational chemistry programs from a standard web browser. The web interface provides a 3-D molecular editor, pre-defined calculations types, job submission and monitoring, visualization of results, and user management tools. Barriers to using state-of-the-art computational chemistry in teaching and research are minimized through WebMO's universal accessibility, its intuitive and uniform interface to all programs, no software to install on client computers, and support for multiple users with a single instance. Applications of WebMO throughout the undergraduate curriculum are provided. The extensible open-architecture design allows for collaboration among educators, researchers, quantum chemistry program developers, and the WebMO interface developers.
