JSmol

JSmol is an open-source viewer for three-dimensional chemical structures, with features for chemicals, crystals, materials and biomolecules. It is a part of the Jmol project, which is a free, open-source molecule viewer. JSmol is a fully functional implementation of Jmol that does not require Java and is compatible with modern web browsers.

Overview

JSmol is a JavaScript framework that allows for the interactive visualization of molecular structures on the web. It is a component of the Jmol project, which also includes a standalone Java application and a version that can be embedded in web pages. JSmol is implemented entirely in JavaScript and HTML5, with optional WebGL support. It can be used as a teaching tool, a research tool, or a tool for presenting molecular structures on the web.

Features

JSmol has a number of features that make it a versatile tool for visualizing molecular structures. These include:

• Support for multiple file formats, including PDB, CIF, MOL, and XYZ.
• Interactive manipulation of structures, including rotation, zooming, and measurement of distances and angles.
• Support for displaying multiple structures simultaneously.
• Ability to create animations and movies of molecular dynamics simulations.
• Support for scripting, allowing for the creation of custom user interfaces and automation of tasks.

Usage

JSmol can be used in a variety of ways, including as a standalone application, embedded in a web page, or as a component of other software. It is commonly used in educational settings, where it can be used to visualize and explore molecular structures in an interactive way. It is also used in research, where it can be used to visualize and analyze the results of computational chemistry simulations.
