Learn to Use Mol* for 3D Visualization
06/14 
Video still from Tutorial 1 – Introduction to Visualization with Mol*Mol* (molstar) is a modern, web-based open-source toolkit for visualization and analysis of large-scale molecular data. Mol* is used throughout RCSB.org, from generating the 2D images available for every structure and entity in the PDB; to offering interactive 3D views of structures, sequence annotations on structures, electron density; and close-up views of ligand interactions.
A standalone version of Mol* is also available that allows users to upload custom files and/or superimpose different structures in the same viewer.
