AniMol is an open platform for easy storing and sharing of interactive molecular visualizations.

• Create a persistent URL link and associated QR code for your molecular structures, then freely share these across platforms and devices.




• Provide snapshots of molecular strucutures and let AniMol turn these into an interactive "movie" visualization.




• Explore previously made AniMol visualizations by others, and also the examples provided, to learn how to get the most from AniMol.




• Import structures provided by major databases to create an AniMol visualization.

Examples of dynamic visualizations

Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) is a small, well-studied protease inhibitor of 58 amino acids, comprising mainly a random-coil structure plus two antiparallel β-strands and two short α-helices.

Protein disulfide isomerase is a protein with more than 500 residues comprising four distinct domains. The protein's intramolecular flexibility is essential for its action in facilitating oxidative folding of secretory proteins.

Mammalian mitochondrial cytochrome-c is a classic electron-transfer protein containing a redox-active haem group bound within a primarily α-helical protein fold.
