How to visualize a 3D structure using Py3Dmol?
SHARE

We provide a new Python script to visualize a chemical structure using Py3Dmol [1]. You can use this script to visualize protein structures as well. It is explained below.

Contents
  • Availability
    • References

Since it is an interactive Python notebook, you can run it in Jupyter Notebook or any other similar software, such as VS Code. The script is simple; you can replace the compound coordinates to visualize your compound under “view.addModel”.

Similarly, to visualize the protein structure, you can load a pdb file from your directory as shown in the script.

Availability

The script is available on GitHub under the package ‘cheminformatics‘. The input is also available, namely, “protein.pdb“.
