MGLTools is a software for 3D visualization and analysis of molecular structures. It uses Python and OpenGL to deliver cross platform interactive molecular viewer suitable for producing publication-quality images. The software include three main applications:

  • AutoDockTools (ADT): a graphical front-end for setting up and running AutoDock
  • Python Molecular Viewer (PMV): a powerful molecular viewer that has a number of customizable features and comes with many pluggable commands ranging from displaying molecular surface to running molecular dynamics simulation and energy minimization calculations.
  • Vision: a visual-programming environment in which a user can interactively build networks describing novel combinations of computational methods, and yielding new visualizations of their data without actually writing code.
