Open Source Chemistry Software

Over 1,000,000 page views per month. Jmol/JSmol is a molecular viewer for 3D chemical structures that runs in four independent modes: an HTML5-only web application utilizing jQuery, a Java applet, a stand-alone Java program (Jmol.jar), and a "headless" server-side component (JmolData.jar). Jmol can read many file types, including PDB, CIF, SDF, MOL, PyMOL PSE files, and Spartan files, as well as output from Gaussian, GAMESS, MOPAC, VASP, CRYSTAL, CASTEP, QuantumEspresso, VMD, and many other quantum chemistry programs. Files can be transferred directly from several databases, including RCSB, EDS, NCI, PubChem, and MaterialsProject. Multiple files can be loaded and compared. A rich scripting language and a well-developed web API allow easy customization of the user interface. Features include interactive animation and linear morphing. Jmol interfaces well with JSpecView for spectroscopy, JSME for 2D->3D conversion, POV-Ray for images, and CAD programs for 3D printing (VRML export).

JSmol is the extension of the Java-based molecular visualization applet Jmol (jmol.sourceforge.net) as an HTML5 JavaScript-only web app. It can be used in conjunction with the Java applet to provide an alternative to Java when the platform does not support that (iPhone/iPad) or does not support applets (Android). Used in conjunction with the Jmol JavaScript Object (http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Jmol_Javascript_Object), JSmol seamlessly offers alternatives to Java on these non-Applet platforms. JSmol can read all the files that Jmol reads. You can do all the scripting that Jmol does. You can create all the buttons and links and such that you are used to creating for Jmol. All of the rendering capability of the Jmol applet is there. JSmol has both a console and a popup menu. JSmol is integrated fully with JSME and JSpecView. A "lite" version of JSmol provides minimal functionality (balls and sticks only) for extremely small-bandwith apps. Released 1/12/2013

QuteMol is a real time, high quality molecular visualizer that offers an array of innovative visual effects. QuteMol aims at improving the clarity of rendered images and at offering a better understanding of the molecular 3D shape and spatial structure.

The Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) is a scientific, LGPL-ed library for bio- and cheminformatics and computational chemistry written in Java. The main home page of the CDK is now at: http://cdk.github.io

OBExtensions is a extension library for the chemoinformatics library Openbabel. It provides extensions to Openbabel, being mostly GUI widgets. OBExtensions has a 2D/3D viewer, 2D coordinates generator and some other extensions.

The Developement of 3D Molecular Simulation Engine

Animp is an OpenGL program to display movies of particles in motion where the movies are produced by adding calls to animp library routines to simulation code written in either C++ or Fortran. Animp can also display molecules read from PDB files.

BINViz(Bidirectional Interactive Network Visualization) is a JavaScript library for network and graph visualization. The goal of this tool is to provide a better way to visualize complex graphical models and the underlying data in a web-based environ

Project is closed, since useful alternatives exist. See http://toeholds.wordpress.com/2010/03/23/writing-chemistry-with-latex-33/ for an example. With write18 and openbabel, you probably can do whatever you want.

Calculating 2D-Gray-scale bitmaps Calculation of a 3D-rotation-body form a detected area by using different image processing algorithms. Developed for the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Used Projects: Substance (GUI)

2-D chemical structure drawing program

Jamberoo (former JMolEditor) is a library of algorithms for structural Computational Chemistry implemented in the Java programming language. The Jamberoo classes can be integrated into other Java applications.

Modama is a new software project for processing and analysing 2d detector data (images) provided by any available detectors, mainly SAX and WAX.

QMGA is a Qt-based molecular graphics application for visualizing large ensembles of ellipsoids, spherocylinders or spheres. It is conceived for coarse-grained mesoscopic molecular simulation, but can be used for any kind of convex body systems.

Free and portable software for visualization and post-processing of results from Quantum Chemistry calculations. Oriented, but not limited, to satisfy the visualization needs from Lowdin [http://www.cucei.udg.mx/~robertof] and deMon2k.

The VRML97-Import-Script is a Python-Script, that extends the capabilities of Blender to import VRML97-Files. It supports Blender since version 2.42.

yagdt (Yet Another Graph Drawing Tool) is a plugin-based graph drawing application & distributed graph storage engine.

A drawing program for chemical structure formulas, in the vein of chemtool, BKChem, EasyChem, or Xdrawchem.
