Kolkata: Computational
chemistry can bypass lab experiments to predict properties of
materials for further application, a leading scientist said at the
100th Indian Science Congress here Friday.
"With computers we do not need to perform lab experiments. We can
bypass them and practically calculate the properties of molecules.
Then from the properties you can predict where we can apply," said
Sourav Pal, director of National Chemical Laboratory, Pune.
According to Pal, the branch of computational chemistry which is
in essence the use of computers to solve chemical problems has
been doing reasonably well in India.
"It is doing reasonably well for a developing nation. We have been
at it for the last 30 to 40 years in the background. Now we have
got good hardware, what we need more is good human resource and
how to use it," he said.
"So far it is being used to design drugs and in material sciences
in India. We have huge potential to develop it further and apply
it in other areas," said Pal.
