JavaScript/TypeScript molecular visualization library
npm install 3dmol3Dmol.js is an object-oriented, WebGL accelerated JavaScript library for online molecular visualization.
Since 3Dmol.js is licensed under the permissive BSD open-source license, you are free to use it in any project, as long the code is properly acknowledged and cited.
With 3Dmol.js, you can add beautifully rendered molecular visualizations to your web applications. Features include:
* support for pdb, sdf, mol2, xyz, cif, cdjson, mmtf, prmtop, gro, pqr, cube, and vasp formats
* parallelized molecular surface computation
* sphere, stick, line, cross, cartoon, and surface styles
* atom property based selection and styling
* labels
* clickable interactivity with molecular data
* geometric shapes including spheres and arrows
See the documentation to learn how to use 3Dmol.js as a hosted viewer, embeddable viewer, or as a component of a larger application.

``html
class='viewer_3Dmoljs' data-pdb='4N8T' data-style='cartoon:color=spectrum'
data-surface='opacity:.7;color:white'>
#### JavaScript
We support the use of both PDB queries as well as PDB files.
First you simply create the viewer with a div's id.
`javascript
var viewer = $3Dmol.createViewer($("#div"));
`
Then you can download a protein data bank model (here pdb:1MO8) and display it with the styling of your choosing.`javascript
$3Dmol.download("pdb:1MO8",viewer,{multimodel:true, frames:true},function(){
viewer.setStyle({}, {cartoon:{color:"spectrum"}});
viewer.render();
});`
#### Surfaces
We also support the use of surfaces that are asynchronously loaded and support different color schemes`javascript
viewer.addSurface($3Dmol.SurfaceType.VDW, {
opacity:0.85,
voldata: new $3Dmol.VolumeData(volumedata, "cube"),
volscheme: new $3Dmol.Gradient.ROYGB(range[1],range[0])
},{});
`#### Shapes
The use of different shapes and styles is supported.
`javascript
viewer.addCylinder({start:{x:0.0,y:2.0,z:0.0},
end:{x:0.0,y:10.0,z:0.0},
radius:0.5,
fromCap:false,
toCap:true,
color:'teal'});
viewer.addCylinder({start:{x:15.0,y:0.0,z:0.0},
end:{x:20.0,y:0.0,z:0.0},
radius:1.0,
color:'black',
fromCap:false,
toCap:false});
