VMD

VMD is a free program designed for visualization and analysis of biomolecular systems such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipid bilayers, etc. VMD can read Protein Data Bank (PDB) files and many other file formats. VMD provides a variety of methods for rendering and coloring a molecule. The program can be used to animate and analyze trajectories of a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Also, VMD can act as a graphical front end for an external MD program by displaying and animating a molecule undergoing simulation on a remot computer. VMD uses the freely available Tcl scripting language for processing text commands.
