*New Free Molecular Graphics and Presentation Software: Create and
Display Fully-Interactive 3D Molecular Documents in PowerPoint, on
the web, and in a standalone multiplatform browser.*
MolSoft <http://www.molsoft.com/> is excited to announce the release of
a new *free* version of ICM-Browser
<http://www.molsoft.com/icm_browser.html> and the ActiveICM
<http://www.molsoft.com/activeicm.html> plugin. ICM-Browser contains
enhancements which allow you to *create and** save **fully-interactive
3D molecular documents* to display in *PowerPoint and the Web* (see some
screenshots <http://www.molsoft.com/icm-browser-screenshots.html>).
These new features make it easy to communicate chemical and protein
structures clearly and effectively. The ICM-Browser technology is
already being used by PLoS ONE
<http://www.ploscollections.org/article/browseIssue.action;jsessionid=0400A7BBC5736794827CBEC17087C729.ambra01?issue=info:doi/10.1371/issue.pcol.v02.i04>,
PLoS Biology, and Molecular & Cellular Proteomics journals for
publishing, and pharmaceutical companies and academic labs use it for
data sharing and high-quality molecular graphics. The SGC have been key
in guiding MolSoft's development of this software and they use
ICM-Browser technology to present their data
<http://www.thesgc.org/structures/index.php?isee_checkbox=yes&terms=> to
the public. The software runs on *Linux, Mac, and Windows*.
*The new features include:*
* Build and save fully-annotated and interactive 3D molecules and
display them in Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer.
* Display fully interactive molecules in Windows PowerPoint.
* Display ligand pocket surfaces colored by binding property.
* Add and optimize hydrogens to a PDB structure.
* Calculate and display hydrogen bonds.
* Generate and display molecule surfaces.
* Display transparent surfaces.
* Save publication quality molecular graphics files in a variety of
image formats.
*It is easy to get started:*
