RasMol, RasMol Derivatives, and Molecules

• RasMol, the Program Itself

  • Getting and installing RasMol, the program and the REFERENCE MANUAL.
  • RasMol Quick Start: How to use RasMol once you've got it.
  • Introductory tutorials on how to use RasMol.
  • Frequently asked questions (FAQ) for RasMol and Chime.
  • The RasMol Reference Manual. (Manual de Referencia de RasMol)
  • Non-English RasMol (French, Spanish, ...)

  • Instructions for configuring RasMol as a viewer to run within your web browser. Here are more complete instructions from the original document by Rzepa and Whitaker at the Univ Leeds, UK.
  • The source code for RasMol is available.

• Enhanced Derivatives of RasMol

  • Chemscape Chime (free!) is built upon RasMol, but shows the molecule as a plug-in, within a Netscape 3.0* web page (not in a separate window) and has many important enhancements. Highly worth downloading -- installation is very simple -- so you can take a look at Chime's extraordinary educational potential.

  • Marco Molinaro at The University of California, Berkeley, MultiCHEM facility has created an enhanced version, UCB-RasMol. This is the only version at present which can load several molecules at once and move them independently.

  • See also WebLab from Molecular Simulations, Inc., a promising new program derived in part from RasMol.

• Molecules (PDB Files)

  • "Exclusive" molecules (first published at this site or not available from the BNL PDB).
  • Molecules in the RasMol Gallery.
  • PDB Tools: Methods for Modifying Existing PDB Files
  • MOLECULES GALORE
