Chemistry::Atom

Chemistry::Atom is a Perl module specifically designed to handle chemical atoms as objects in molecules. If you're looking for a way to easily and seamlessly incorporate atoms into your molecular modeling software, Chemistry::Atom is a great choice.

One of the most useful aspects of this module is its simple and intuitive use. With just a few lines of code, you can create a new Chemistry::Atom object and set all of its relevant attributes. For example:

use Chemistry::Atom;
my $atom = new Chemistry::Atom(
id => 'a1',
coords => [$x, $y, $z],
symbol => 'Br'
);
print $atom->print;

This will create a new atom object with an ID of 'a1', a set of coordinates specified by the variables $x, $y, and $z, and a symbol of 'Br'. The print function will then output all of these attributes in a user-friendly format.

Beyond its ease of use, Chemistry::Atom also includes a number of other useful features. For example, atomic coordinates are described by a Math::VectorReal object, which makes vector operations much simpler and more efficient.

Overall, Chemistry::Atom is an excellent module for anyone working with chemical atoms in their software. Its simplicity and range of capabilities make it an ideal choice for anyone who wants to improve their molecular modeling capabilities.
