We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
Chimera
From Proteopedia
(Redirected from ChimeraX)
Chimera and ChimeraX are very popular among structural biologists for visualization of atomic models and density maps. Chimera is free for non-commercial use, and requires a license for commercial use.
Chimera is easier to use than PyMOL. However, FirstGlance in Jmol is much easier than Chimera, provides a great deal more help and background information, and has many unique capabilities and shortcuts absent in ChimeraX. Each program has its strengths and weaknesses.
