Aims & Scope

The computational molecular sciences utilize the techniques of rigorous chemical as well as physical theories and computer-based modeling, relying on specialized hardware and software development, algorithm design, and database management to examine and elucidate all aspects of the molecular sciences. These approaches bridge chemistry, biology, and the materials sciences and have connections to neighboring chemical as well as biological application-driven fields. WIREs Computational Molecular Science will review and highlight research from all these fields..
