Dear All,

I was wondering if there is any IOS5 based app to display protein models, which are not in public database, on Iphone. There is an app called Molecules for displaying models but that utilizes coordinates from RCSB and pubchem. 

Thanks,

Shiva

Better than this: Jolecule from Dr. Bosco Ho.

"Jolecule works in HTML5 browsers such as Chrome and Safari, mostly in Firefox, and even on the iPad"

However, if you intend to keep your PDB secret, I'm not sure
it is wise to use any webservice.

Regards,
Francois.

Dear Shiva, Just yesterday, Dr. Ishitani at Tokyo university released
Cuemol for iOS.

Although not free, iMolview is a nice viewer, too.

P.S. For Android users, I am developing NDKmol.

Dear Shiva

You can also import your structure directly from itunes in pdb format

iMolview is not free but is very nice (better than Molecules :-)

cheers

1. Import structure directly from itunes in pdb format view in iMolview (not free).

2. Cuemol for iOS: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cuemol/id496236710?ls=1&mt=8

3. Jolecule, web based: http://jolecule.appspot.com/

An app for android users under development: NDKmol. https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.sfjp.webglmol.NDKmol

Just for the sake of accuracy, Molecules can view custom pdb files as well:

from http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/molecules

Custom molecule structures can also be downloaded to the device from any publicly available web server. The location of these structures can either be manually specified in the application, or custom URLs, such as molecules://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/sites/default/files/neonPump.pdb.gz , can be clicked on within Safari or Mail on the device. This will launch Molecules and have it start downloading the file at that address.

On iPad, molecular structures can now be dragged into the application directly using iTunes by going to the Applications tab, scrolling down to the bottom, and clicking on the Molecules icon.
