DebiChem Project
Summary
3D Visualization
DebiChem 3D Viewers

This metapackage will install 3D Viewers which might be useful for chemists.

Description

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for DebiChem to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the DebiChem mailing list

Version: 2.4.1-26

Viewmol is able to graphically aid in the generation of molecular structures for computations and to visualize their results.

At present Viewmol includes input filters for Discover, DMol3, Gamess, Gaussian 9x/03, Gulp, Mopac, PQS, Turbomole, and Vamp outputs as well as for PDB files. Structures can be saved as Accelrys' car-files, MDL files, and Turbomole coordinate files. Viewmol can generate input files for Gaussian 9x/03. Viewmol's file format has been added to OpenBabel so that OpenBabel can serve as an input as well as an output filter for coordinates.
