*[[Protein Explorer]], an extensive and powerful open-source user-interface to [[Chime]]. Although there is nothing else available in 2009 that combines the power and ease of use of Protein Explorer, it is falling into disuse because of difficulties related to installation and operation of the [[Chime]] browser plugin. Because Jmol is now much more powerful and easier to get working, especially on OS X, maintenance of Protein Explorer ceased in 2007. A start has been made at implementing [http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/pe/protexpl/htm/index.htm Protein Explorer with Jmol], but this project is in its infancy.
