Protein structure visualization

Question

I was asked to work on visualizing the protein structure, something like RasMol, where the user would open the pdb file to get the protein structure.

How can I generate a protein structure from a pdb file?

I would like to write Python code and render the structure if I use OpenGL or VTK? are there any other modules that could help me in this regard?

You should try pymol , which has a python interface.

Answer 3

, Pymol , Schrödinger. :  - JMol (!! , )  - PyMol ( )  -  - Discovery (Accelrys)  - RasMol ( )  - VMD ( ). , .

I work a lot with PyMol and I connected to it. The only limit is that you can use it as a viewer, but nothing more. For example, you cannot get information by clicking on an atom.
