Model Types

• Stick.
• Ball and Stick
• Space Filling
• Ribbon
• Surface
• Easily modifiable model preferences allows users to modify color, resolution, and much more...

Models

• Rotation and translation tools make analyzing models easy. Move the rotation of origin to rotate models around a different point.
• Measure molecular distances.
• Add new models via layers.
• Split co-crystal structures into self-rotating models.
• Animate models and record movies.

Alignments

• Align sequences via pairwise or BLAST¹ algorithms. View the alignments in the 3D viewer to analyze similarities and differences.

Files

• Currently compatable with PDB files only.
• Save customized models as a PDB formatted file.

Other tools

• Search and download¹ PDB Files on the fly.
• Comprehensive 3D amino acid and nucleotide reference.
• Comprehensive selection tools to select residues by type, location, and proximity.
