Explore the fascinating world of biological macromolecules:
iMolview lets you browse and view in 3D protein and DNA structures from Protein Data Bank, drug molecules from DrugBank, and small molecules from Pubchem. Search for drug names like ibuprofen or gefitinib in DrugBank, or proteins like insulin or thyroid receptor in PDB. Information associated with each molecule in these databases is also at your fingertips. Sync and view your own structure files via iTunes. Molecular view can be customized with a rich set of molecular representations (wires, balls-and-sticks, space filling, ribbon diagrams, molecular surfaces) and various coloring schemes. Select residues, atoms or chains and color or change their representations individually. Select neighbors of a ligand or any other selection to identify interacting atoms or residues. Set inertia to the maximum and let your molecule spin in 3D indefinitely.
Save the current scene (viewpoint + representation) as a slide which can be easily accessed later. Save the whole molecular document with multiple slides.

Pros and cons of iMolview app for iPhone and iPad
iMolview app good for
Very intuitive interface, beautiful graphical representations. A must-have for the iPad-owning scientist!
This viewer is good for having a quick look at a protein structure. The rendering is simple, but generally clear. 3D manipulation is intuitive. Not as flexible or powerful as full modelling packages like PyMol. Surface depictions are simplistic and not really useful for interior pockets. But overall, it is a useful app for checking out structures quickly. Well worth the 99ยข
Some bad moments
it is only for original pdbs. it crashes when trying to load modified pdbs from website.
Works very well. It is really a pleasure to zoom and rotate structures.
Great app Thanks for fixing graphics issues for 3G iPods in v1.2
Great protein structure visualization program; it has nice graphics and easy to manipulate thanks to its thoughtful design. I prefer to use it on my iPad.
This is by far the fastest, slickest, and cleanest pdb viewer out there! The interface us sooooo fluid and intuitive. I highly recommend!!!
I have spent the last 2 hours exploring my favorite structures with this app. Great fun and being able to touch and interact with them is very cool - needs a few more features such as save image
