Dr. Glaser's "Visualization Center & Chemistry Online Exploratory"

"Connectivity is really only part of the story; the arrangement of the atoms in space really is what matters in defining function. Chemistry therefore is largely about structure and learning chemistry is about learning to recognize structure."
