*[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://www.samson-connect.net/ Samson], a powerful visualization and modeling package that is menu-driven. Free for basic use. See demos at [[Sculpting protein conformations]].
*[[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]].

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