What is BALLView FOR LINUX?

BALLView FOR LINUX

BALLView is an extensible viewer for bio-molecular structures. It provides all standard models and rich functionality for molecular simulation and modeling, including molecular mechanics methods (AMBER and CHARMM force fields) and continuum electrostatics methods employing a Finite-Difference Poisso. Since BALLView is based on BALL (the Biochemical Algorithms Library), it is easily extensible at the C++ code level and has a Python interface for interactive rapid prototyping.

Key Features:

• Integrated molecule editor


• Merck Molecular Force Field (MMFF 94)


• Automated download of structures from PDB and PubChem


• Extended visualization with volume rendering and field lines for electrostatics


• Improved cartoon and ribbon models


• Non-photorealistic shading


• Off-screen rendering


• Numerous interface improvements


• Autobuild script for simpler installation of BALL and BALLView


• Support for PowerPC architecture on Linux


• Improved support for MacOS
