Molecular viewer using Jmol

Using this resource type you can create a 3D visualisation of a molecular data file, using the Jmol applet.

Please note that Jmol requires Java and Javascript to be available on a user's computer. If you have students who may not be able to make use of these visualisations (e.g. through disability) then you must make sure that alternatives are available.


The viewer will allow you to render data in many of the popular chemical / biomolecular data formats, including:


The options for the viewer allow you to include additional Jmol script to be run on initialisation. You may wish to read the Jmol scripting guide if you wish to do this.
