Biodesigner is a molecular modeling and visualization program for personal computers. Is a molecular modeling and visualization. Of various molecular properties, including. Protein Explorer, unlike FirstGlance in Jmol, has much more help for beginners, enables customization of molecular views, and has powerful advanced capabilities. Because it requires MDL Chime, it works only in Windows (including virtual Windows via Parallels on Intel Macs), and is.

Public Domain Software for Molecular Modeling
RasMol
RasMol is a molecular graphics program developed at the University of Edinburgh. The software is intended for the visualization of proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules. The program has the ability to read in PDB as well as several other formats. For more information on RasMol visit the RasMol Home Page. To connect to the RasMol ftp site click here
ArgusLab
ArgusLab contains: An interactive 3D molecule builder that allows the user to build and manipulate complex structures; and, a rich suite of computational methods, both quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical, for calculating ground and excited states properties. http://www.planaria-software.com/
MAGE
Mage requires the use of Kinemage files. There are presently available a large number of these files for both education and research purposes (e.g., see the files at Protein Science. )

XMol is an excellent tool for viewing PDB files. For a complete guide to XMol (X11 display server) click here
WebLab
WebLab is the newest of the public domain software for PC's and Mac computers. Unlike the present version of RasWin, WebLab will also let the user measure distances and angles, and change color according to atom type. For more information click here
VMD (Visual Molecular Dynamics)
VMD is a molecular graphics program designed for ease of use, modifiability,and modularity. It runs on Silicon Graphics workstations and may be compiled for HP-UX workstations if the NPGL library is available. Full source code and binaries for SGI's running IRIX 5.X are included in the distribution. VMD is made available via anonymous ftp free of charge by the TheoreticalBiophysics Group, located in the Beckman Institute of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
