MOE (Molecular Operating Environment) is developed in architecture quite different from conventional software, and a newly integrated computational chemistry system by CCG (Chemical Computing Group Inc.) in Canada. Operating Environment that is the origin of the name of MOE is a synthesized word of Operating System and Application Environment, the novel system that CCG advocates.
CCG originally developed MOE with the high performance language SVL(Scientific Vector Language) as its core system, and succeeded in completely integrating the environment for the execution and the development of applications in the field of the computational chemistry for the first time.
CCG developed most of the various applications form the protein modeling to the drug design equipped with MOE in SVL. These applications are offered in SVL source code, that are automatically read in and compiled into the system on starting MOE.
It is possible for a user not only to use those applications written in SVL as they are but also utilize them as templates and freely modify them to construct original applications due to such a unique system configuration
