Dear All,
MolSoft is excited to announce the release of an iPhone and iPad app
that lets you browse protein, DNA, and drug molecules in 3D. The app has
a direct link to the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and DrugBank and has a fast
and easy to use interface. Touching the molecules via the screen allows
you to interact immediately with the 3D structures in a unique way. You
can zoom in and out, rotate, spin, pan, and clip the 3D molecules with
your finger tips in ways that are impossible using a traditional mouse
and desktop computer.
For more details and screenshots see: http://www.molsoft.com/iMolview.html
The key features are:
* Easy to use touch interface.
* A direct link to the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and DrugBank.
* Each molecular view can be customized with a rich set of molecular
representations including: wires, balls-and-sticks, space filling,
ribbon diagrams, and molecular surfaces.
* Zoom in and out, rotate, spin, pan, and clip the 3D molecule.
* A wide selection of coloring schemes is available.
* Color background, color molecule by atom type, chain, N- to C-
terminal, and secondary structure.
* Select residues, atoms, or chains and color or change their
representations individually.
* Select residues in sequence and get the corresponding selection in 3D.
* Select the whole chain by holding the corresponding tab.
* Display fog effect.
* Set 'inertia' to the maximum and let your molecule spin in 3D
indefinitely.
* Display residue and site labels for the whole object or selection.
* Direct link to PubMed.
* Read in your own MolSoft ICM *.icb files.
We hope you enjoy using the app and find it useful for your research and
teaching. We welcome any feedback you may have.
Thanks,
Andrew
