iMolview Lite vs 3D Chemistry Molecule View

Explore the fascinating world of biological macromolecules: iMolview Lite lets you browse and view in 3D protein and DNA structures from Protein Data Bank, and drug molecules from DrugBank. Search for drug names like 'ibuprofen' or 'gefitinib' in DrugBank, or proteins like 'insulin' or 'thyroid receptor' in PDB. Information associated with each molecule in these databases is also at your fingertips. Sync and view your own structure files via iTunes. Molecular view can be customized with a rich set of molecular representations (wires, balls-and-sticks, space filling, ribbon diagrams, molecular surfaces) and various coloring schemes. Select residues, atoms or chains and color or change their representations individually. Select 'neighbors' of a ligand or any other selection to identify interacting atoms or residues. Set 'inertia' to the maximum and let your molecule spin in 3D indefinitely. If you have more than a casual interest in 3D structures, please consider full iMolview version, which adds many features you may find useful: - store your custom molecular visualizations as 'slides' to be instantly displayed later, preserving chosen representations, color schemes, viewpoint etc. - measure distances and angles - instantly e-mail screenshots to colleagues - VGA output support - 3D view mirroring and 'laser pointer' emulation for structural data presentations from your iPhone or iPad - load and display simultaneously multiple structures; superimpose using either residue number correspondence, sequence alignment or structural alignment with sophisticated iterative procedure - auto-assign secondary structure for PDB entries lacking this data - use side-by-side stereo display for even more vivid 3D viewing. - much more to come!

See molecular shapes without squinting at flat diagrams. Browse, rotate, and inspect chemistry models in seconds, so it’s easier to study structures, compare forms, and check details without switching between sources. 3D Chemistry Molecule View helps students, teachers, and curious learners open and explore molecule models in 3D. KEY TOOLS - Browse more than 155 bundled molecules across 25 categories, including aromatics, amino acids, carbohydrates, nucleobases, neurotransmitters, drugs, and common small molecules. - Search the library and narrow results with category scopes such as All, Favorites, and Aromatics, so you can get to a molecule faster. - Open a molecule and orbit it in the mono ball-and-stick viewer to understand shape and bonding at a glance. - Turn on Spin for an automatic rotating view when you want a quick all-around look. - Tap the heart in the detail toolbar or swipe right in the library to save favorites for quick return later. - Reset camera anytime to get back to a clear starting view. - Read the details sheet for the molecule you’re viewing. - Share a PNG snapshot of the current 3D molecule view. - Check the built-in periodic table reference with 30 common elements and colors that match the viewer. - Open molecules from Spotlight for quicker access from your device search. USE IT TO Review benzene, glucose, caffeine, ATP, or amino acids before class, compare aromatics side by side while studying, or keep a quick molecule viewer handy during homework and lab prep. It’s also useful when you want to open a saved structure, favorite the molecules you revisit most, share a clean image for notes, or jump in from Spotlight instead of browsing the full library. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE IT The app keeps the core workflow simple: browse, open, orbit, and read details. The catalog is built in, so you can start with bundled chemistry models right away, and the interface focuses on the structure instead of clutter. On larger screens, the library and molecule detail sit side by side, which makes moving through the collection feel quicker. Paid features Molecule Pro adds stereoscopic viewing with side-by-side, mirror-separated, and anaglyph modes, plus an eye-separation control for your viewer setup. You can switch from ball-and-stick to space-filling or wireframe, hide hydrogens, see an element legend for the current structure, place molecules in AR, import your own structures, measure distance, angle, and dihedral, export a study sheet or 3D file for sharing, get premium molecule packs, and save unlimited favorites. If you want to try everything first, you can preview Pro for 24 hours from the paywall. Permissions note: camera access is only needed if you choose AR placement. Open a molecule, rotate it, and make chemistry easier to picture today. Terms of Use (EULA) - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula
