QuteMolX 2.8

QuteMolX is an interactive, high quality molecular visualization application forked off of the original code (QuteMol) written by Marco Tarini and Paolo Cignoni of the Visual Computing Lab at ISTI - CNR. It exploits current GPU capabilites through OpenGL shaders to offer an array of innovative visual effects. Its visualization techniques are aimed at improving clarity and understanding of the 3D shape and structure of large complex molecules.

QuteMolX is beeing customized by Nanorex for integration with their NanoEngineer-1(3D multi-scale modeling and simulation) program. When users launch QuteMolX from NE1 it opens with the molecular structure already loaded, and with the same coloring, display style, orientation, and zoom as the originating structure in NE1. NE1 can also export standard PDB files with custom REMARK records containing the display data that QuteMolX reads to display the molecular structure as it was saved via NE1. These portable PDB files can be sent to any QuteMolX user to communicate a specific display of a molecular structure, along with the usual chemical structure found in PDB files.
