Hi All, Miguel is right that companies can sometimes be sensitive to this information, especially early on. However, every company that makes an investment in deploying Jmol has a shared interest in seeing the project succeed. Thus, if asked nicely, I bet that such case studies & endorsements could be obtained.
Another high-impact approach would be to prepare some real world examples online. The demonstration page is a great start, but to the extent that we seek corporate adoption (to make Jmol economically self-sufficent), it is hard to imagine something more powerful than a publicly-accessible Jmol web page with drug-discovery content. This would paint an indelible picture in the minds of your potential customers as to what Jmol would look like with their own proprietary molecules. Jmol may be a feature or two shy of having all the features necessary to support such usage, but as soon as solid surfaces are implemented, I would happily contribute some examples. Loading multiple molecules with a shared frame of reference will be essential for this. Cheers, Warren PS.
