Publisher Description
A .pdb protein visualizer for iOS, iPadOS and macOS. View the 3D representation of any molecular structure from a .pdb file, using our custom Metal-based rendering engine based to allow for a smooth experience even in the biggest proteins.
- Full drag and drop support for .pdb and .xyz files.
- Photo Mode with publication-quality exports.
- Support for multi-model PDBs.
- Support for high refresh rate ProMotion displays.
Version History - Changes in the rendering engine for higher quality shadows at a small performance cost.
- Protein atoms can now be colored based on their residue (ARG, HIS, LYS...).
- Protein atoms can now be colored based on their secondary structure (helix, sheet or loop).
- Added a UI control to change the direction of the light source.
- Several more elements can have their colors customized within the app: F, Na, P, Cl, K, Ca, Fe, Zn and I.
