[http://pymol.org PyMOL] is a stand-alone [[Molecular modeling and visualization software|molecular visualization]] program that is very popular with protein crystallographers because of the high quality of its rendering, its speed and versatility. A large percentage of the figures in journal publications reporting new macromolecular structures are created using PyMOL.

Effective use of PyMOL requires that you become familiar with highly abbreviated menus, and/or a command scripting language. | ||
Molecular scenes prepared in PyMOL can be imported into Protoepedia scenes, using the [[PyMOL2Jmol_Translator]], which allows you to choose a PyMOL session file (.pse file) that you have saved on your computer and have it converted directly into a Jmol scene to be saved and displayed in Proteopedia. | Molecular scenes prepared in PyMOL can be imported into Protoepedia scenes, using the [[PyMOL2Jmol_Translator]], which allows you to choose a PyMOL session file (.pse file) that you have saved on your computer and have it converted directly into a Jmol scene to be saved and displayed in Proteopedia. | ||
