NAME

       qutemol - interactive visualization of macromolecules

SYNOPSIS

       qutemol

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the QuteMol program.

       QuteMol is an open source (GPL), interactive, high quality molecular visualization system.
       QuteMol exploits the current GPU capabilites through OpenGL shaders to offers an array  of
       innovative visual effects. QuteMol visualization techniques are aimed at improving clarity
       and an easier understanding of the 3D shape and structure of large  molecules  or  complex
       proteins.

       Real Time Ambient Occlusion Depth Aware Silhouette Enhancement Ball and Sticks, Space-Fill
       and Liquorice visualization modes  High  resolution  antialiased  snapshots  for  creating
       publication quality renderings Automatic generation of animated gifs of rotating molecules
       for web pages animations Real-time rendering of large molecules and protein (>100k  atoms)
       Standard PDB input.
