View full threadSpecial thanks to @sokrypton.org for the project inspiration (check out py2dmol bsky.app/profile/sokr...)! Built on the amazing Molstar* framework, with inspiration from the OG @dkoes.compstruct.org py3Dmol. 🫶
- For more features like: • Fetch structures directly from PDB and AFDB • py3Dmol-compatible API for easy migration Check out the repo & leave feedback ;) github.com/54yyyu/molview
- Check out examples: • Molview demo notebook: • ColabFold & Boltz pipelines with Molview visualizer Molview example: colab.research.google.com/drive/18MeQn... Colabfold: colab.research.google.com/drive/1tB7dW... Boltz2: colab.research.google.com/drive/1MtcB3...
- You can now install Molview in seconds by: pip install molview or, if you’re using uv: uv pip install molview
- Molview also supports grid layouts for viewing multiple structures side by side and smooth transitions between single and grid view. Perfect for comparing models or conformations at a glance ;)
- Huge thanks to everyone using nano-protein-viewer! Your feedback shaped this release: • Added pLDDT color mode • Option to remove water molecules easily Keep the suggestions coming 🙏
- Molview inherits all the core features from nano-protein-viewer: • Color modes (chain, secondary, etc.) • Surface & illustrative rendering • Interactive control with optional side panel No need to dig through docs — everything’s right in the widget :)
