Abstract
The first application of computer graphics to the study of molecules was made in the mid-sixties. Cyrus Levinthal and Robert Langridge, then at M.I.T., were interested in the M.A.C. (Multiple Access Computer) project, an ancestor of present day C.A.D./C.A.M. systems. It occurred to them that a computer driven cathode ray tube, a very preliminary version of presently available graphic systems, could be a valuable tool in molecular biology.
