If you have selected a separate fragment, you can rotate it by dragging an atom in the selection.

You can add/remove atoms and bonds to the selection by clicking them.

Selection tools: all these tool can be used to drag the current selection or individual atoms and bonds.

Undo/redo: undo or redo your recent changes.

Eraser: erase atoms, bonds or the current selection.

Once you’ve drawn a molecule, you can click the 2D to 3D button to convert the molecule into a 3D model which is then displayed in the viewer. The structural formula editor is surround by three toolbars which contain the tools you can use in the editor. MolView consists of two main parts, a structural formula editor and a 3D model viewer.

Crystallography Open Database (~300.000 crystals).

The PubChem Project (~51 million compounds).

RCSB Protein Data Bank (~100.000 macromolecules).

ChemDoodle Web Components v6.0.1: 3D render engine and spectrum display.

Ketcher: Chemical 2D data reader/writer.

The Virtual Model Kit has been a source of inspiration for the birth of this project.

This web application is built on top of the JavaScript libraries and online services listed below. You can use MolView to search through different scientific databases including compound databases, protein databases and spectral databases, and view records from these databases as interactive visualizations using WebGL and HTML5 technologies. MolView is an intuitive, Open-Source web-application to make science and education more awesome! MolView is mainly intended as web-based data visualization platform.
