Molecular visualization is a key aspect of data analysis that can provide understanding about the implications of a molecule’s structure on certain interactions and biochemical reactions, while often divulging mechanistic insight about a biochemical pathway or lead compound. DS Visualizer provides functionality for visualizing, analyzing and sharing biological and chemical data. DS Visualizer allows molecular data to be viewed from multiple perspectives by providing the options to view data through 3D structures, sequences, charts/graphs and data tables.
Visualization in Discovery Studio 2.5 includes:
Multiple perspectives to let you simultaneously view 3D structures, hierarchy of groups, and sequences of peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids
Support for a multitude of file formats for 3D structures, SMILES, sequences and graphics
Convenient tools for structure building, editing, and analyzing
Scripting capabilities that allow you to automate you molecular manipulation workflows
Ability to render high quality graphics and adjust many visual elements
Access to all the expert-level life science modeling and simulation software that is available in Discovery Studio, as well as shared custom protocols
DS Visualizer (freeware)
If you do not need access to the expert-level analysis tools in Discovery Studio, but do need a commercial-grade graphics visualization tool for viewing, sharing, and analyzing protein and modeling data, you can download the free DS Visualizer program, which includes ActiveX Control for interactive 3D visualization.
