Description

MolScript is a program for displaying molecular 3D structures, such as proteins, in both schematic and detailed representations. It was developed by Per Kraulis. Molscript website.

Molscript is intended to be used on the Helix platform of the Helix Systems. It was built without jpeg, gif, or png support, so it has limited use for direct production of images. It is best used to create input files for RASTER3D, which can produce images in several different formats.
