*[https://molstar.org/ Mol*] (MolStar) is offered as a visualization option by the [[wwPDB]]. Its rendering is fast and smooth because it uses [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebGL_API WebGL], and it can handle very large numbers of atoms. | *[https://molstar.org/ Mol*] (MolStar) is offered as a visualization option by the [[wwPDB]].

*[[Kinemages, Mage and KiNG]] (KiNG = Kinemage, Next Generation) are designed to present the author's viewpoint of a molecular structure. They excel in specialized areas, but are not optimal for general purpose visualization. KiNG can be used in Proteopedia; an example may be seen at [[Hemoglobin#Hemoglobin_subunit_binding_O2]]. | *[[Kinemages, Mage and KiNG]] (KiNG = Kinemage, Next Generation) are designed to present the author's viewpoint of a molecular structure.

*[[RasMol]], an open-source stand-alone program released in 1993, and still popular. Effective use of RasMol requires learning a command scripting language. | *[[RasMol]], an open-source stand-alone program released in 1993, and still popular.
