UCSF Chimera

UCSF Chimera is a highly extensible, interactive molecular visualization and analysis system. Chimera can read molecular structures and associated data in a large number of formats, display the structures in a variety of representations, and generate high-quality images and animations suitable for publication and presentation. In addition, Chimera provides tools to: show density maps and analyze microscopy data; utilize symmetry information for the display of higher-order structures; display multiple sequence alignments, with crosstalk between the sequences and structures; and enable analysis of molecular dynamics trajectories and docking results.
