What makes this program very useful is Jmol's ability to manipulate the 3D models and display the molecules as "ball and stick," "space filling," "ribbon," "cartoon," etc. One can also do a combination of any or all possible displays. For example: one can display a ligand as "ball and stick" while displaying the protein its interacting with in a "cartoon" display. | What makes this program very useful is Jmol's ability to manipulate the 3D models and display the molecules as "ball and stick," "space filling," "ribbon," "cartoon," etc. One can also do a combination of any or all possible displays.
