CCP4MG

CCP4MG is a powerful protein and nucleic acid structure viewer that offers multiple features to make your research more productive. The software is designed to load multiple molecules from PDB or mmCIF files and display them in various formats such as cylinders, ball and stick, spheres, ribbons, worms, and surfaces. Additionally, the user has the extensive option to select and color molecules as per their requirement.

Moreover, users can calculate hydrogen bonds, secondary structure, close contacts, and solvent-accessible area. CCP4MG also displays molecule surfaces and electrostatic potential, which is a great tool for research purposes. It allows the display of results of QM field calculations and can generate symmetry mates. It also provides a facility to superpose structures, which is a valuable feature in research.

The software provides the option to load maps from MTZ and display them as 'continuous crystal' and fast changing contour level. The labelling and annotation are flexible and users can display images and arbitrary labelled vectors as well. The user can save the image as PNG, JPEG, or PostScript or POV-Ray input file. Additionally, CCP4MG provides a feature to make animated GIF or MPEG movies.

Another advantage of CCP4MG is the ability to create scripts, edit and replay them as per the user requirement. This allows the researcher to work more efficiently and saves significant time. Overall, CCP4MG is a top-notch software with an excellent user interface that is easy to understand even for beginners.
