CueMol

CueMol is a super cool app that helps you visualize macromolecule models. You can use it on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, which is awesome!

Importing Data Made Easy

This program lets you import all kinds of info like molecular coordinates in PDB format, electron density from CCP4, CNS, and MTZ formats, MSMS surface data, and even APBS electrostatic potential maps in OpenDX format. So, no worries if you have different types of data!

User-Friendly Yet Powerful GUI

At first glance, the GUI might seem a bit overwhelming because CueMol comes loaded with tons of customization options. But don't worry! You can find out more about what it can do on its official website.

Multi-Tabbed Environment for Easy Analysis

CueMol has this neat multi-tabbed setup that lets you analyze different molecular models at the same time. You can easily switch between them and even copy and paste objects across scenes—how handy is that?

Flexible Animation Features

You also get to undo or redo actions whenever you need to. Plus, rotating objects is a breeze! You can set up all sorts of parameters related to scenes, molecule structures, selections, symmetry settings, density maps—you name it!

Create Stunning Animations

The animation features are pretty sweet too! You can make things spin or move the camera around. There are fading effects and cool structure morphing options available as well.

Measurement Tools for Precision

CueMol includes several measurement tools that help with calculations like distance and angles. You can play or pause animations, turn on loop mode, and save your scenes so you can tweak them later.

Diverse Display Modes Available

You have various display modes to work with too! This includes basic molecular functions like ball-and-stick models or CPK models. There's also cartoon mode and edge rendering options.

Advanced Features for Professionals

You're given plenty of freedom to tackle complex tasks like molecular superposition or using the molecular bond editor. It even has tools for analyzing protein secondary structures!

CueMol packs an advanced set of features perfect for analyzing macromolecular structures—especially for those who are professionals in the field. Just be ready to spend some extra time getting used to its interface—it might look tricky at first!
