ChemDoodle 3D update with a custom VSEPR force field

26 09 21 - Filed in: chemdoodle3D

Version 6.4 includes the ability to add charges, radicals and electron pairs to atoms. This allows them to create a unique VSEPR force field which is perfect for students and instructors to use and demonstrate why certain atom centers, along with electron pairs, lead to certain shapes in molecular structures.

QuickLookProtein

20 09 21 - Filed in: quicklook Protein PDB

QuickLookProtein is a macOS Quick Look extension to preview protein/3D structure files (PDB, SDF, CIF).

It works in all places where macOS uses Quick Look, e.g. in Finder and Spotlight. In Finder, just select the protein structure file and press Space to open Quick Look.

The rendering of the 3D structure is performed using 3Dmol.js.

The extension is packaged into a main app, whose purpose is to set a few settings used for the display of the 3D models. QuickLookProtein requires macOS Big Sur (version 11.0+).
