CCL: best software for protein structures depiction




Andrew,

Protein depiction is a pretty vague term. Same as best. So instead of giving you my biased answer (the software I use the most or my favorite) I'll give you a list of the software I use to visualize proteins in one way or another:

PyMol
VMD
Yasara
Rasmol 
SPDVB viewer
UCSF Chimera

Each one in the list has features shared with the others and quite a few that are unique. So, since they are all free, try them and find the best for you.

Best regards

Hi Andrey,

in my opinion PyMOL is best for many cases. But if you want something outstanding you may look at hybrid techiniques when you use combination
of PyMOL and professional 3D software (like Blender, 3ds Max and so on). As an exampe you may have a look at our tutorial 

Or may try EPMV which allows import PDB files directly into professional 3D packages.

Hope this will of use for you.

Regards,
Arthur
