Dear All,
I would like to let you know that we have added many new features to the
free ICM-Browser ( http://www.molsoft.com/icm_browser.html ) that will
be useful for the crystallography community. The new free version of
ICM-Browser and the ActiveICM plugin contains enhancements which allow
you to create and save fully-interactive 3D molecular documents to
display in PowerPoint and the Web (see some screenshots here
http://www.molsoft.com/icm-browser-screenshots.html ). These new
features make it easy to communicate chemical and protein structures
clearly and effectively.
The ICM-Browser technology is already being used by PLoS ONE, PLoS
Biology, and Molecular & Cellular Proteomics journals for publishing,
and many pharmaceutical companies and academic labs use it for data
sharing and high-quality molecular graphics. The SGC have been key in
guiding MolSoft's development of this software and they use ICM-Browser
technology to present their data to the public. The software runs on
Linux, Mac, and Windows. Please join us at one of our free webinars,
please register here http://www.molsoft.com/training.html
The new features include:
- Build and save fully-annotated and interactive 3D molecules and
display them in Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer.
- Display fully interactive molecules in Windows PowerPoint.
- Display ligand pocket surfaces colored by binding property.
- Add and optimize hydrogens to a PDB structure.
- Calculate and display hydrogen bonds.
- Generate and display molecule surfaces.
- Display transparent surfaces.
- Save publication quality molecular graphics files in a variety of
image formats.
It is easy to get started:

for instructions on how to display in PowerPoint and Web Browsers.
All the features in the previous version of ICM-Browser remain including:
- Powerful PDB search and download options.
- Full links to UniProt and PFam
- Label residues, atoms, and variables.
- 2D and 3D annotation.
- Measure and display distances and angles.
- Protein superposition.
- View and make high resolution images of alignments.
