PyMOL
This molecular visualization application renders 3D structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and other molecules. It reads PDB, CIF, MOL2, and SDF files and supports rendering styles including cartoon, surface, stick, and ball-and-stick representations. Includes a Python scripting interface for automation.
- Visualize a protein structure from a PDB file in cartoon or surface representation
- Generate a publication-quality molecular graphic or animation
- Script a custom visualization workflow using PyMOL's Python interface
