MolStar Structure Explorer


Advanced molecular visualization in the browser, powered by Mol* (MolStar). Ideal for interactive exploration of protein structures, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies, it supports PDB and mmCIF formats as well as cryo-EM density maps. The viewer provides state-of-the-art rendering with cartoon, surface, and symmetry representations, plus options for coloring by chains, domains, or physicochemical properties. Built for structural biology and drug discovery, it enables real-time rotation, zooming, and annotation directly in your browser—no plugins or installs required. With MolStar's precision and scalability, researchers can visualize massive structures, highlight binding sites, and integrate seamlessly with AlphaFold predictions and other structural bioinformatics workflows.
