- <strong>Support for viewing structures with ChimeraX and
- Pymol</strong><br> Jalview's 3D structure viewer system has been
- re-architected to allow easier integration of external structure
- viewers, and takes advantage of the strucViz2 Chimera
- communications library developed by Scooter Morris (<a
- href="https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btm329">doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btm329</a>).
- The Structures Preferences tab provides new options
- allowing ChimeraX and Pymol to be used for visualising external 3D
- structures. Jalview 2.11.2 has been tested with Pymol 2.5.0
- (community) and 2.5.2 (incentive). For ChimeraX, we recommend
- using v1.3 or later.
