MoreFAQ
What is FoldVision?
FoldVision is an application that transforms protein structures into interactive 3D models. It allows users to explore over 200,000 protein structures from the Protein Data Bank, load predictions, and even build DNA or RNA helices from sequences.
How does FoldVision explain proteins?
FoldVision uses Apple Intelligence to generate private, plain-language explanations of protein functions. A guided tour highlights key regions on the structure as they are described, with explanations available in 11 languages.
Can I compare different protein structures with FoldVision?
Yes, FoldVision allows you to load and compare two structures side-by-side or morph between them. Structural and sequence-change coloring helps visualize differences, highlighting residue variations from blue to red.
What kind of details can I explore in FoldVision?
You can explore detailed annotations like domains, active sites, and modifications drawn from UniProt. The sequence view provides tracks for secondary structure, hydrophobicity, charge, and B-factor, with options to measure distances and view bound ligands.
What devices is FoldVision available on?
FoldVision is designed for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro, with layouts optimized for each device. It supports iOS and visionOS platforms.
How frequently is FoldVision updated?
The latest version of FoldVision is 2.0.1, and it was last updated on August 6, 2026. This indicates a commitment to ongoing development and improvements.
Does FoldVision have ads?
No, FoldVision does not contain advertisements. As a free application, it provides an uninterrupted user experience without any ad interruptions.
What is the age rating for FoldVision?
