Molecular visualization software used for viewing, animating, and analyzing molecular systems. Enables scientists, researchers, and students to better understand the structure and properties of molecules.

What is MollyCule?

MollyCule is an advanced molecular visualization and analysis program used to view, animate, and study atomic and molecular systems in 3D. It was originally developed at the University of Illinois and is now maintained commercially by a company called Mestecky Molecular Visualization.

Some key features of MollyCule include:

• Interactive 3D visualization of molecules, proteins, DNA, etc.
• Support for a wide range of molecular data files and formats
• Molecular editing tools - build/modify molecular structures
• Animation and trajectory playback tools
• Various analysis modes - measure bonds, angles, surface areas, etc.
• High quality rendering and raytracing
• Extensive atom, residue, chain coloring options
• Python scripting for advanced customizations

MollyCule enables scientists, researchers, professors and students in fields like biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, and pharmacology to better understand the structure and properties of molecules through dynamic 3D visualization. It is used worldwide in academic research and teaching as well as pharmaceutical research and drug design.
