ChimeraX 0.1.71

Analysis and visualization of molecular structures and 3D microscopy

# UCSF ChimeraX Molecular Visualization



This package provides a library that implements many of the algorithms and structural 

manipulations from the ChimeraX molecular visualization and analysis system.  

It does *not* include any of the GUI components, which must be separately licensed.



[ChimeraX](https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/) is an application for visualizing and 

analyzing molecule structures such as proteins, RNA, DNA, lipids as well as gene sequences, 

electron microscopy maps, X-ray maps, 3D light microscopy and 3D medical imaging scans.  

It is the successor of the [UCSF Chimera](https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/) program.  



[Example images](https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/gallery.html) and [feature highlights](https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/features.html) 

show a few of its capabilities, and [recipes](https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/) 

show example command and Python API use.
