  • Description

    a next-generation molecular visualization program, following UCSF Chimera. Compared to Chimera, ChimeraX has improved graphics (e.g. interactive ambient shadows); faster handling of large structures (millions of atoms); and a more modern, single-window user interface. ChimeraX will have documented programming interfaces and an easy-to-use “Tool Shed” web repository of extensions.

  • Usage Notes

    This ChimeraX alpha release is not currently available for CentOS 6 linux.
