Swiss-PdbViewer For Mac

Swiss-PdbViewer is a free and cross-platform scientific software application for analyzing multiple proteins concurrently. You will be able to view and analyze protein and nucleic acid structures from a friendly user-interface.

In order to compare the active sites of the proteins, they can be superimposed. Moreover, you can easily calculate amino acid mutations, H-bonds angles and distances between atoms.

Using Swiss-PdbViewer, you can also connect to the Swiss-Model, which is an automated homology modeling server. Because it is possible to thread a protein primary sequence onto a 3D template, the amount of work is greatly reduced.

You can immediately check how well the threaded protein will be accepted by the reference structure before submitting a request.

Another important feature is the ability to read electron density maps and to build into the density. Residues can also be mutated. Swiss-PdbViewer can even produce ray-traced quality images by generating POV-Ray scenes from the current view.

Detailed instructions on how to install and use the Swiss-PdbViewer utility on your Mac are available developer's website.
