Description

TheMolecule Viewerapp lets you display and manipulate 3-D molecular structures.

You can:

Import structural information directly from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) database or other supported files.
Measure distances and dihedral angles.
Display molecular surfaces, such as van der Waals or solvent-accessible surfaces.
Select different visualization and color schemes to display a molecule, such as the ribbon or backbone representation.
Run RasMol script commands from within the app.

Open the Molecule Viewer App

MATLAB^®Toolstrip: On theAppstab, underComputational Biology, click the app icon.
MATLAB command prompt: Entermolviewer.
