Molsoft - Version iMolview - Mobile App for iPhone/iPad and Android

iMolView allows you to search for drugs such as 'ibuprofen' or 'gefitinib' in DrugBank, or proteins like 'insulin' or 'thyroid receptor' in the PDB and immediately explore their structure and annotation. This handy app allows you to quickly and easily view and interact with 3D molecules anywhere and at any time whether you are at the bench, at a conference, or just having coffee with colleagues!

The key features are:

• Easy to use touch interface.
• Save structure and slides (molecular document).
• A direct link to the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and DrugBank.
• Structure files (pdb/icb) sync with iTunes.
• Supports retina display
• Display and contour electron density maps
• Superimpose multiple objects
• Side by side stereo
• Angle and distance measurement
• Each molecular view can be customized with a rich set of molecular representations including: wires, balls-and-sticks, space filling, ribbon diagrams, and molecular surfaces.
• Zoom in and out, rotate, spin, pan, and clip the 3D molecule.
• Search and download structures from NCBI website.
• Read in any PDB file from any URL.
• A wide selection of coloring schemes is available.
• Color background, color molecule by atom type, chain, N- to C- terminal, and secondary structure.
• Select residues, atoms, or chains and color or change their representations individually.
• Select residues in sequence and get the corresponding selection in 3D.
• Select the whole chain by holding the corresponding tab.
• Display fog effect.
• Set 'inertia' to the maximum and let your molecule spin in 3D indefinitely.
• Display residue and site labels for the whole object or selection.
• Direct link to PubMed, Uniprot, and RCSB.
• Read in your own MolSoft ICM *.icb files.
