3D Protein Imager a PyMOL/Qutemol web alternative

Summary Molecule of the Month In the year 2000 David Goodsell started to provide stories on the The Protein Data Bank web site as the “molecule of the month” with his unique style that was later made available by the Qutemol software, unfortunately not updated since 2007 and therefore no longer working on many systems, …

PyMOL Stereo viewing

  PyMOL Stereo viewing PyMOL can display stereo in many ways. Unless special equipment is available, the method is to split the PyMOL 3D view area in two with the command stereo on (and stereo offto turn it off.) The alternative is to use the menu cascade: Display > Stereo. However, there are 2 ways …
