+ PyMOL is one of a few open-source visualization tools available + for use in structural biology. The Py portion of the software's + name refers to the fact that it extends, and is extensible by the + Python programming language. +
++ PyMOL has the ability to load, manipulate and visualize molecules + from a variety of formats and sources. The program can easily be + controlled using a menu-driven GUI, or from a large number of + commands and/or scripts. A built-in raytracer is available to + generate high-quality images of the views generated in the GL + portion of the GUI. +
++ PyMOL uses OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW) and Freeglut, + and can solve Poisson–Boltzmann equations using the Adaptive + Poisson Boltzmann Solver (apbs). +
++ Install this application to view, analyze, and prepare graphics + images of proteins and experimental strucural data + (e.g. crystallographic, NMR and electron microscopy based). +
