Abstract:

Jmol is a free, open source molecule viewer for chemistry and biochemistry. It is cross-platform, running on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux/Unix systems. The software consists of three parts: the JmolApplet is a web browser applet that can be integrated into web pages; the Jmol application is a standalone Java application that runs on the desktop; and the JmolViewer is a development tool kit that can be integrated into other Java applications.

This was the paper presented at the 10th Electronic Computational Chemistry Conference.

Indeed JMol is a very handy OS tool for displaying docking. It is nice to see a discussion of the the history.

I’m using JMol to display a PDB structure. It’s a pity that JMol can output a JPEG image from the displayed structure only in Netscape, not in IE.

Anyway, it’s really a nice and useful tool for molecular displaying!

Fengfeng, the differeneces between browsers are out of Jmol developers’ control.
However, you can indeed get the jpeg image in IE too: http://biomodel.uah.es/Jmol/export-image/
