Visualize biological macromolecules
RasMol is a molecular graphics program intended for the visualisation of proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules. The program is aimed at display, teaching and generation of publication quality images.
The program reads in a molecule coordinate file and interactively displays the molecule on the screen in a variety of colour schemes and molecule representations. Currently available representations include depth-cued wireframes, 'Dreiding' sticks, spacefilling (CPK) spheres, ball and stick, solid and strand biomolecular ribbons, atom labels and dot surfaces.
Supported input file formats include Protein Data Bank (PDB), Tripos Associates' Alchemy and Sybyl Mol2 formats, Molecular Design Limited's (MDL) Mol file format, Minnesota Supercomputer Center's (MSC) XYZ (XMol) format, CHARMm format, CIF format and mmCIF format files.
This package installs two versions of RasMol, rasmol-gtk has a modern GTK-based user interface and rasmol-classic is the version with the old Xlib GUI.

- Data files containing PDB content may incorporate the PDB
4-letter entry name (e.g. 1ABC) in standard PDB records only if they are exactly the same as what is residing in the PDB archive. This does not prevent databases from including PDB entry_id's as cross-references where it is clear that they refer to the PDB archive. PDB records refer to the standard PDB format. The distribution of modified PDB data including the records HEADER, CAVEAT, REVDAT, SPRSDE, DBREF, SEQADV, and MODRES in PDB format and their mmCIF and XML equivalents is not allowed.
- The user assumes all responsibility for insuring that
intellectual property claims associated with any data set deposited in the PDB archive are honored. It should be understood that the PDB data files do not contain any information on intellectual property claims with the exception in some cases of a reference for a patent involving the structure.
