Description
Molecules is an application for viewing three-dimensional renderings of molecules and manipulating them using your fingers. You can rotate the molecules by moving your finger across the display, zoom in or out by using two-finger pinch gestures, or pan the molecule by moving two fingers across the screen at once. These structures can be viewed in both ball-and-stick and spacefilling visualization modes.
Molecules can be stored on your handheld device for later viewing and are loaded via a standard document-based file browser.
Custom molecular structures can be downloaded to the application via file sharing or iCloud, and obtained via sources like the RCSB Protein Data Bank (http://www.rcsb.org/pdb), an international repository of biological molecules and their 3-D structures, or NCBI's PubChem (http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), a public database of compounds. For more details, please visit our website.
Molecules is a BSD-licensed open source project.
What’s New
Version 3.0
We're back! Molecules has been rewritten in Swift and Metal for modern iOS versions and devices. It now uses a standard file browser and can access molecular model files on your local device, iCloud, and other sources.
Ratings and Reviews
Alright
Fairly Good. I didnt get any crashes. Im fine with not being able to build molecules.
However it would be better for us if we were to be able to scroll through all downloadable molecular structures without having to search at least one letter.
Plus Im a newbie so it would be great if there was a colour key for iphone.
Great, but...
If you're getting for undergrad/grad level bio it's great. But it's only bio molecules, inorganic chemists won't find anything useful. Only proteins and such.
Really cool
It is really interesting! I love it!
The only thing that should be modified is the rotation code. I noticed that the focal point changes when you drag the molecule with 2 fingers, so when you rotate it again, the molecule flies off. Maybe keep the focal point at the center of the molecule, and just shift the point of view.
