Summary Assembled by Curation Team
Software: Support Tool

RasMol is a free program which displays molecular structure. It is available on PC/Windows (RasWin), MacIntosh (RasMac), unix, and VAX VMS (the latter two via X-windows), and also (through ports by users) for NEXTSTEP and for Acorn Archimedes RISC OS. RasMol can be used as an educational or research tool to show the structure of DNA, proteins and smaller molecules.

The program reads in molecular coordinate files and interactively displays the molecule on the screen in a variety of representations and colour schemes. Supported input file formats include Protein Data Bank (PDB), Tripos Associates' Alchemy and Sybyl Mol2 formats, Molecular Design Limited's (MDL) Mol file format, Minnesota Supercomputer Center's (MSC) XYZ (XMol) format, CHARMm format, CIF format and mmCIF format files.

It is a gift to the scientific public by its author, Roger A. Sayle, Ph.D., GlaxoWellcome, and the University of Edinburgh.
