PyMOL

A molecular visualisation system for science

About PyMOL

PyMOL is a molecular visualisation system used to render high-quality 3D images and animations of proteins and small molecules. An open-source build exists, while Schrödinger sells the maintained incentive builds with support as subscriptions. Overall, it is built for people who want that kind of job done reliably, without unnecessary complexity, steep learning curves or heavyweight software getting in the way of everyday work.
