Description
A .pdb protein visualizer for iOS, iPadOS and macOS. View the 3D representation of any molecular structure from a .pdb file, using our custom Metal-based rendering engine based to allow for a smooth experience even in the biggest proteins.
- Full drag and drop support for .pdb and .xyz files.
- Photo Mode with publication-quality exports.
- Support for PDB files with several models.
- Support for high refresh rate ProMotion displays.
What’s New
Version 1.5
- Changes in the rendering engine for higher quality shadows at a small performance cost.
- Protein atoms can now be colored based on their residue (ARG, HIS, LYS...).
- Protein atoms can now be colored based on their secondary structure (helix, sheet or loop).
- Added a UI control to change the direction of the light source.
- Several more elements can have their colors customized within the app: F, Na, P, Cl, K, Ca, Fe, Zn and I.
- PDB file reading is now multithreaded, making the opening of bigger files much faster.
Ratings and Reviews
Structures are all reversed
This is a nice little molecular viewer that I thought I might use in my biology class (I’m a Bio professor), BUT when I opened my first structure from the protein database - 2cv5 (DNA wrapped around a nucleosome) - the wrap of the DNA around the nucleosome core is spiraling the wrong way and the DNA itself is winding backwards. The viewer is giving incorrect mirror views of the structure. This can be seen by comparing the app view with the view at RCSB itself using their 3D viewer in the browser or in PyMol (a more professional structure viewer). I tried other nucleosome structures - the same error.
I am led to conclude that all proteins are shown in mirror image of reality. As such this viewer should not be used until this issue is fixed.
Not Good
Does not even come close to PyMol or any other molecular viewer
CAN DO NOTHING
Just a pbd viewer
Elegant
But CAN DO NOTHING
