About
VistaPDB is a program that can be used to render and analyze PDB files which contain 3-dimensional macromolecular coordinates from structural determinations. VistaPDB contains a large number of features that can be used to analyze structures, including:
- A range of model types. Including stick, space filling, ball and stick, ribbon, and surface, and many other variations.
- Easily modify model preferences, including color, line width, antialiasing, and much more...
- Easily measure between two atoms
- Transform single strucutres from complex co-crystal structures
- Complex selection tools include single and multiple residue selections from the viewer, selection via residues, and selections by proximity.
- Multi-structure models supported.
- Align proteins to a structure and view the alignment in 3D.
- Search by keyword and download PDB files.
- Much, much, more...
