The autoPACK installers for the molecular viewer software packages PMV and Chimera are not yet released...
these are packages typically used by biologists and are not related to the pro3D softwarereleases above.
Please check back on January 11th or 12th to get autoPACK for PMV or Chimera.



What is ePMV?
Learn how to make the molecular models shown on this page as well as many others. Learn how to animate and
simulate molecular data, as well as how to perform many other tasks with scientific data in general.
ePMV applies over 40 years of molecular graphics research through a simple interface to give you access
to hundreds of thousands of molecular models, chemical structures, and general volumetric data sets.
Build accurate models, directly from publicly available data banks with just a few mouse clicks.
Get it right, do it fast, then customize the selection of default representations as needed to meet your goals.



Polio Virus
Construct macromolecules from lightweight asymmetric unit files with just a few clicks
To create an efficient virus model that won't bog down your viewport, ePMV can take one subunit (a) and instance it to assemble an
entire virus (b–d) from data available in many PDB files. The 2plv file used in this example is nearly 1/60th the size of the entire virus file which has redundant geometry.

that would spell AMINEWS in amino acids if transcribed and translated into a protein.
Make your own DNA structures by typing or pasting As, Ts, Gs, and Cs directly in ePMV's GUI:

Represent DNA and RNA in a variety of customizable styles
Many molecular viewers popular today come up short on options for representing nucleotides (e.g., DNA and RNA strands). ePMV provides many options and organizes the geometries and textures to make them easily customizable.
