McKinney Computer Lab (SEIC-115)

  • The McKinney Computer Lab is an essential instructional facility within the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, supporting a wide range of courses and serving a large student body utilizing computational tools. The laboratory is equipped with 24 high-performance Windows workstations. It provides access to a variety of computational and scientific software packages, including Spartan 24, Gaussian 16 with GaussView 6, VMD, ChemDraw, Mathematica, MATLAB, Microsoft Office, and many others.
  • The Lab is primarily used for instructional purposes but is also available to Chemistry and Biochemistry faculty and students engaged in research. For more information, please contact contact Prof. Anton Guliaev
  • In addition, departmental faculty and students have access to computational resources centrally managed by Academic Technology — including the Platform for Open Learning, Academic Research, & Innovative Scientific Computing (POLARIS) high-performance cluster and virtual machines (VMs) (link here) .

  • Bruker 500 MHz NMR Spectrometer with Prodigy Cryoprobe (2017)
  • Molecular Visualization Software
    Eric Martz's site for Chime, Protein Explorer and RasMol software for looking at macromolecular structure and its relation to function
     
  • NIST Chemistry Webbook
    This site provides thermochemical, thermophysical, and ion energetics data compiled by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Standard Reference Data Program.
     
  • SDBS: Spectroscopic Database for Organic Compounds
    This site, located in Japan, provides a variety of useful spectrosopic data (NMR, IR, MS, UV-Vis, etc.) for a large number of known compounds, free of charge.
     
  • NMRDB: A freely available web-based resource for NMR prediction
    This site can be used to predict 1H NMR for compounds. drawn via the web-based interface.  Start by pressing the "NMR Predictor" link, then press "draw molecule" to open a Java-based molecular drawing program. When the molecule is drawn corrrectly, press the "submit" button.
     
  • Protein Data Bank
    The Protein Data Bank (PDB), operated by the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB), is the single international repository for the processing and distribution of 3D macromolecular structure data primarily determined experimentally by X-ray crystallography and NMR.
