*[[FirstGlance in Jmol]], an open-source user-interface to [[Jmol]] utilized in the ''3D View'' links in papers in the journal [http://www.nature.com/nature Nature] that report new macromolecular structures. Proteopedia's automatically seeded pages (pages titled with a [[PDB code]]) have links for further exploration of the structure in'' FirstGlance in Jmol''. Although ''FirstGlance in Jmol'' by no means exploits all the power in Jmol, it does show the main structural features of a macromolecule '''without learning any command scripting language'''.

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. | ||

*[[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.
