PyMOL is a Windows application oriented toward scientists. There are tools for visualizing molecular structure of proteins. It is necessary to have the Python programming language integrated in the system for interacting with the utility.

Brief description

This program can produce high-resolution 3D images of biological macromolecules and proteins. There are tools for building new fragments that contain bromine, carbon, chlorine, iodine, methane, nitrogen and other elements. Residue materials like amine, aspartate, glutamate and proline are available. Users can create sequences with several steps.

The molecule is represented by a 3D model. It is possible to zoom and rotate the object with your mouse. Protein properties such as the type, color and radius can be adjusted..

Extensive documentation and tutorials are available online on the official developer website.

Movie recording

Users are able to create a video file that includes every step in the sequence. It is possible to set a custom frame rate and loop the playback. There is an option to trace the rays before exporting the clip.

It is worth noting that MyPOL is distributed on a commercial basis. The free trial version will stop working 30 days after installation.
