About:
BALLView is an extensible viewer for bio-molecular structures. It provides all standard models and offers rich functionality for molecular modeling and simulation, including molecular mechanics methods (AMBER, CHARMM, and MMFF94 force fields), continuum electrostatics methods employing a Finite-Difference Poisson Boltzmann solver, secondary structure calculation, molecular editing and docking.
Since BALLView is based on BALL (the Biochemical ALgorithms Library), it is easily extensible on the level of C++ code. In addition, it provides a Python interface with Integrated Development Environment features to allow interactive rapid prototyping.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
An integrated molecule editor, the Merck Molecular
Force Field (MMFF 94), and an automated download
of structures from PDB and PubChem were added. The
visualization was extended with volume rendering
and field lines for electrostatics, improved
cartoon and ribbon models, non-photorealistic
shading, and off-screen rendering. In addition,
numerous improvements to the interface were made.
A new autobuild script now allows a much simpler
installation of BALL and BALLView. Support for the
PowerPC architecture (on Linux) was added, and the
support for MacOS was improved.
