Welcome!
This site is intended to provide a resource for chemists using Apple Macintosh computers. The links in the sidebar give access to a variety of resources that I hope you will find valuable.
Have a look at the MacInChemBlog for the latest news, tips and comments.
One particularly population section is Comparing a MacBook Pro Apple M1 max with Intel MacBookPro for Cheminformatics/CompChem, this includes comparison using RDKIt, OpenBabel, MOE, Jupyter notebooks and Vortex. Full details are here.
You might also be interested in an article I wrote on my thoughts on scientific software and a listing of open-source cheminformatics toolkits and Open Source Python Data Science Libraries
If you have any comments or suggestions please contact me.
