Summary: Adapting a modular and object-oriented approach in the design of molecular modeling packages may reduce the software development barrier between ideas and their programed applications. Towards this goal we developed MESHI, a new, strictly object-oriented, molecular modeling suite written in Java. MESHI provides a comprehensive library of extendable classes for all the essential components of molecular modeling: molecular and geometry elements, energy functions and optimization methods.
Availability: MESHI and its related documentation are freely available at http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~meshi; the MESHI API is available at http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~meshi/API

Supplementary information: The Supplementary information includes (1) a detailed description of several key packages and classes, and (2) a brief presentation of results achieved by using the MESHI applicationBeautifyin the CASP6 experiment.
