BALLView
BALLView is an open source, extensible tool for visualizing and modeling bio-molecular structures. It provides a variety of different models for bio-molecular visualization. In contrast to most existing visualization tools, BALLView also offers rich functionality for molecular modeling and simulation, including molecular mechanics methods (AMBER and CHARMM force fields), continuum electrostatics methods, and secondary structure calculation. It is scriptable program that can be extended using the Python language.
