TL;DR
Standalone Mol* viewer for inspecting PDB files and extracting per-chain sequences.
Use it / Skip it
A zero-backend inspection surface for structures that come from email, Fold, Interface, RFantibody, or external sources.
Use when
You need to quickly view a PDB, check chain layout, or extract sequence before using another module.
Don't use for
Do not use it for scoring or prediction. It only visualizes.
Inputs
- PDB file
- A local PDB upload.
- Optional context
- Chain names or notes from the source module.
Outputs
- 3D view
- Interactive structure visualization in browser.
- Sequences
- Per-chain sequence extraction where possible.
Walkthrough
1. Upload a PDB
Upload a PDB.
2. Rotate and inspect chains, missing regions, and obvious geometry issues

3. Copy chain sequences when needed
Copy chain sequences when needed.
4. Move to Interface, Compare, or Fold depending on the next question
Move to Interface, Compare, or Fold depending on the next question.
Under the hood
- Client-side Mol* rendering; no platform compute job is launched.
Worked example
Pitfalls
- A clean-looking structure can still score poorly.
- Viewer does not validate biological assembly or binding.
