PyMOL

PyMOL is a staple for molecular visualization — rendering proteins, nucleic acids and ligands for figures and movies. The open-source version is free to build; Schrödinger sells supported incentive builds.

Highlights

• Publication-quality ray-traced rendering.
• Full Python scripting and a plugin API.
• Reads PDB, mmCIF, maps and trajectories.
