CMol IPA App Version 1.3
Description
CMol is an interactive 3D molecular viewer designed specifically for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. CMol allows the user to open and view PDB files with complete control over the representations and colours used for individual chains, residues and atoms. CMol is the first iPad app to provide cartoon and ribbon view, transparency and slabbing for viewing proteins.
Features include:
- Defining selections based on chain, backbone, residue, element or HETATM status
- Colouring of selections from a wide range of available colours including rainbow and B-factor colouring
- Representation of selections (ball-and-stick, spheres, ribbons, sticks only and cartoon representation)
- Ability to vary the transparency of the selection
- Save custom appearances of molecules for loading later
- Downloading using the PDB structure ID directly, searching pdb.org for new molecules or importing custom PDB files using "Open with" functionality
- Control over slabbing (near and far clipping planes) of the view to provide clarity to the molecule
- Ability to change background colour
- Scaling of sphere and atom sizes
- VGA connection support
CMol provides:
- Beautiful rendering using in-built OpenGL lighting to provide depth to molecules
- Documentation so you can get the most out of the features of CMol
- Support for viewing both x-ray diffraction-derived models and averaged NMR structures
- Options to leave out certain view representations for rendering very large molecules
- A website with the latest technical support information about CMol
- Contact to the developer at support@cmol.org.uk

** warning **
This app performs well on the iPhone 4. Although it has support for iPhone 3G and has been tested on it, the power of this device means that it is best to view molecules in cartoon, ribbon and sticks-only form rather than large amounts of ball-and-stick or sphere form. The time it takes to load molecules is greater than on the iPhone 4 or the iPad.
What's new in Version 1.3
- Bonds will now colour according to element in both ball-and-stick and sticks-only modes
- It is now possible to colour by B factor
- You can now save appearances of molecules for loading at a later date. This is accessed from the main Options menu for each PDB file. Press the + at the bottom of the screen to save an appearance (which captures the camera, representation and colours of the molecule) and tap an existing appearance to load it.
