Description

PDB Viewer turns your phone into a molecular microscope. Search the entire Protein Data Bank and over 200 million AlphaFold predictions, then explore any protein, virus, drug, or DNA structure in interactive 3D — free, with no account, no ads, and no sign-up.

WHERE THE MOLECULES COME FROM

RCSB Protein Data Bank — 200,000+ experimentally determined structures

AlphaFold — 200M+ AI-predicted protein models

SWISS-MODEL — template-based homology models

PubChem and ChEMBL — millions of drugs and compounds

Crystallography Open Database — small-molecule crystals

NCI/CADD resolver — type a chemical name and get a 3D model

Every source is free and needs no API key. You can also open your own .pdb and .cif files.

WAYS TO SEE IT

Five representations: wireframe, ball-and-stick, space-filling (CPK), cartoon/ribbon, and a smooth molecular surface

Color by element, chain, secondary structure, rainbow, or AlphaFold confidence (pLDDT)

Biological assemblies: rebuild an entire icosahedral virus capsid from a few deposited chains

NMR ensembles: overlay every model in the bundle to watch a protein flex

Automatic secondary-structure detection

MADE FOR TOUCH

Rotate, pinch-zoom, and pan with smooth native rendering

Tap any atom to see its element, residue, and chain

Recently viewed structures are cached, so they reopen instantly and work offline

For students, researchers, teachers, and the simply curious. PDB Viewer makes structural biology beautiful and accessible.

Structures are provided by their respective databases. PDB Viewer is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the RCSB PDB, EMBL-EBI, or AlphaFold.
