Visualize molecular structures as 3D models and tweak the surface boundary, shadow and reflection effects parameters. Import image in PDB, SDF and other formats. Rotate models to change the angle and create morphs various structures. Select frame rate, auto-interpolation, loop and ray-tracing framing, and other settings.

From the developer:
PyMOL is a user-sponsored molecular visualization system on an open-source foundation, maintained and distributed by Schrödinger. Using PyMOL, data can be represented in nearly 20 different ways. Spheres provide a CPK-like view, surface and mesh provide more volumetric views, lines and sticks put the emphasis on bond connectivity, and ribbon and cartoon are popular representations for identifying secondary structure and topology.
