MolViewX (for OSX), MolView, and MolView Lite


 

MolViewX MolviewX (New Version! updated 5/20/05):
New!  MolView X is the OSX version of MolView.  Nearly all of the features of MolView have been ported.  New feature (11/04):  MolViewX now outputs POV-Ray files for rendering.  MolViewX also outputs VRML files for Strata 3DPro and a number of UNIX based applications.  MolViewX can read several types of coordinate files and display ribbon, CPK, stick, ball&stick, and surface figures. The interface is completely interactive (i.e. no comand line input). There are countless options that control the display colors and characteristics. There are several analysis tools such as neighbors, distance lines, hydrophathy plots, Edmunson wheel plots, B value plots (and color coded stick models), distance plots. In addition, the user can open 2 different structures and even perform 3D alignments on them. Also, subsets of the structure can be stored as MOL files and be read in later. These programs are distributed free of charge but may not be distributed or decompiled for commercial purposes. -Tom Smith



MolViewX Download MolViewX (version 2.1) for Mac OSX!

I have tried to fix the file access problem.  Put this folder and all files in your
user area. It should be able to access all files in the Users/ and Volumes/ directories
Get POV-Ray.  POV-Ray is a free and powerful ray-tracing program that can create images and animations using MolViewX output files.
