Protein Data Bank 3DB Browser
Search and display information from the PDB database.


QuickPDB - Sequence/Structure Search and Display
This is a Java program that allows you to search the PDB protein structure database by keywords or sequence. The sequence and structure of entries found are displayed in 3D and secodary structure regions are displayed in colours.


Swiss 3D Protein Images
This is an image database which strives to provide high quality pictures of biological macromolecules with known three-dimensional structure. The database contains mostly images of experimentally elucidated structures, but also provides views of well accepted theoretical protein models. The images are provided in several useful formats; both mono and stereo pictures are generally available.


Swiss-PdbViewer
Swiss-PdbViewer is an application that provides a user friendly interface allowing to analyse several proteins at the same time. The proteins can be superimposed in order to deduce structural alignments and compare their active sites or any other relevant parts. Amino acid mutations, H-bonds, angles and distances between atoms are easy to obtain thanks to the intuitive graphic and menu interface.

Moreover, Swiss-PdbViewer is tightly linked to Swiss-Model, an automated homology modelling server running in the Geneva Biomedical Research Center. Working with these two programs greatly reduces the amount of work necessary to generate homology models, as it is possible to thread a protein primary sequence onto a 3D template and get an immediate feedback of how well the threaded protein will be accepted by the reference structure before submitting a request to build missing loops and refine sidechain packing.

Finally, as a special bonus, POV-Ray scenes can be generated from the current view in order to make stunning ray-traced quality images.


ToolSpace - collaborative molecule viewer
The intent of the ToolSpace project is to create a software infrastructure for easily building collaborative three-dimensional environments accessible via the web. We have a number of application areas in mind, ranging from chemistry collaboration to history lectures.

Using our ToolSpace Construction Set you can enter an existing space with your choice of tools or create and configure a space for others.


Convert PBD file to animated GIF image
This utility converts PDB files to animated GIF images by using RasMol2 for rendering the images.

It also includes information on using JavaScript for the clever use of animated images in a web page.
