Virtual Reality Applied to Molecular Sciences

The paper describes the developments of the prototype implementation of a portal related to a Virtual Reality application to Molecular Science on a Grid environment, called VMSLab-G, and will describe two running virtual experiments. Some aspects related to the applications of VMSLab-G to research and education are also outlined.
