Molecular modeling is more than just generating numbers. It is about understanding, rationalizing, predicting, and, most importantly, communicating results. Ultimately, modeling efforts are pointless if they don't influence the target audience. To maximize impact, the audience itself needs an easy to use tool to study the appropriate data without overwhelming detail.
