Abstract:
PlayMolecule Viewer is a web-based data visualization toolkit designed to streamline the exploration of data resulting from structural bioinformatics or computer-aided drug design efforts. By harnessing state-of-the-art web technologies such as WebAssembly, PlayMolecule Viewer integrates powerful Python libraries directly within the browser environment, which enhances its capabilities to manage multiple types of molecular data. With its intuitive interface, it allows users to easily upload, visualize, select, and manipulate molecular structures and associated data. The toolkit supports a wide range of common structural file formats and offers a variety of molecular representations to cater to different visualization needs. PlayMolecule Viewer is freely accessible at open.playmolecule.org, ensuring accessibility and availability to the scientific community and beyond.
