UCSF ChimeraX (or simply ChimeraX) is the next-generation molecular visualization program from the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics (RBVI), following UCSF Chimera. ChimeraX can be downloaded free of charge for academic, government, nonprofit, and personal use. Commercial users, please see ChimeraX commercial licensing.
ChimeraX is developed with support from National Institutes of Health R01-GM129325.
Feature Highlight
The 3D contents of the ChimeraX graphics window can be embedded
in a web page by:
Example Image
The photosynthetic reaction center from a
purple sulfur bacterium is shown as a cartoon with “tube” helices
and membrane boundaries from the OPM database (Orientations of Proteins in Membranes,
entry 1eys).
Blue and red balls represent the cytoplasmic and periplasmic sides
of the bacterial inner membrane, respectively.
The title and other text labels were added with the
2dlabels
command and repositioned interactively with the move label
mouse mode
.
