Features

• Open source software for rendering large molecule data sets.
• Written in C++, with a QT front end. The same code should work on multiple platforms, including Windows and Linux.
• Reads in the well known PDB and PQR formats.
• Produces high quality images using High end graphics cards functionalities.
• Volume rendering and calculation of electron density, hydrophobicity functions.
• Wireframe and smooth shaded isosurfaces.
• Computes metrics including curvatures, surface areas and volumes.
• Provides programmers with a simple and yet powerful hierarchical data structure of the molecules, with various torsion angles calculated.
• Multiple views and multiple data set rendering.

Tutorial We have a tutorial to familiarize you with TexMol.
