| VRML in Chemistry Brief introduction to VRML and its application for displaying chemical data. | |
| VRML File Creator for Chemical Structures Translates molecules from different formats to VRML. | |
| SGML/XML at OASIS Homepage of the SGML/XML Web Page database. A very comprehensive resource. | |
| Periodic Table at the JavaScript Source Gives name, atomic number and weight, and melting and boiling points. Freely available. | |
| PDB to MultiGif Web- and email-based system that creates an animated GIF from a PDB file. The structure rotates according to requested specifications. | |
| Marvin Applets and JavaBeans Java application, applets, and beans for drawing and displaying chemical structures. | |
| JavaScript Periodic Table by Tim Helvey Displays name, atomic number, electronic configuration, melting point, and boiling point. | |
| GIF/PNG-Creator for 2D Plots of Chemical Structures Creates pictures from structures in different formats. You can choose between GIF and PNG format. | |
| Clip Art from Bio-Rad/Sadtler Free Chemistry-related GIF images for use in web pages. | |
| Chime Free plug-in for both Netscape and Explorer displays 2D and 3D molecules as well as spectra inside a web page. | |
| Ymol A free molecular visualization and animation program for the X window system. Creates images and movies, using either the built in renderer or povray. Still alpha. | |
| VMD A free program for visualization and analysis of biological systems such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipid bilayer assemblies. | |
| Viewmol An open-source graphical front end for computational chemistry programs such as Gaussian, Gamess, and Mopac. Available for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and other Unices. | |
| UCSF Chimera Highly extensible, interactive molecular graphics program. It is the successor to UCSF Midas and MidasPlus. Free of charge for academic, government, non-profit, and personal use. | |
| Swiss-PdbViewer A free program for viewing and analyzing several proteins at the same time. Some energy minimzation and homology modeling features are also included. | |
| SweetMollyGrace A suite of freeware tools for automating work of rendering and animating molecules. Generates high quality images of molecules from PDB, XYZ, or molfiles using raytracing tools (Povray and Raster3D). | |
| Santorini and Patmos, Molecular Viewer and Screensaver Read XYZ or PDB files of atoms and display them in a 3-dimensional view on Windows PCs. | |
| Review of Molecular Modelling Programs Reviews, screenshots, and table of features comparing over a dozen freely available molecular modelling and viewing programs. | |
