Molecules Screenshots



Description

Molecules is an application for viewing three-dimensional renderings of molecules and manipulating them using your fingers. You can rotate the molecules by moving your finger across the display, zoom in or out by using two-finger pinch gestures, or pan the molecule by moving two fingers across the screen at once. These structures can be viewed in both ball-and-stick and spacefilling visualization modes.

New molecules can be downloaded from either the RCSB Protein Data Bank (http://www.rcsb.org/pdb), an international repository of biological molecules and their 3-D structures, or NCBI's PubChem (http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), a public database of compounds. Molecules can be downloaded directly to your handheld device and stored there for later viewing.

Custom molecular structures can be downloaded to the application via iTunes file sharing, or through the use of custom URL formats. For more details, please visit our website.

Molecules is a BSD-licensed open source project.

What's New in Version 2.1

- Added support for the new Retina iPad to the rendering engine and artwork.
- Added a color key for elements to iPad interface.
- Slightly improved rendering fidelity on iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
- Fixed a few minor rendering glitches.

Customer Reviews

Suggestion (4 stars)
Really enjoying the app so far. Any chance of adding the chemical formula?

Great start (4 stars)
Currently using on iPad (3rd gen). Looks great but would love to see ribbon structures. Also, perhaps stereoscopic view if possible?

Nice pocket jmol-like app (5 stars)
This app is very useful for quick visualization when jmol (or equiv) is unavailable or you are lazy and want the convenience of a handheld device. Super nice given that it runs on a phone and has quick access to PDB. High five to the guys who made this and props for making it under the BSD license.
