From Proteopedia
Jmol[1][2][3] is a free, open-source molecular visualization software package. Its applet is the primary visualization software used in Proteopedia. Jmol is a cross-platform program written in java, and is available either as a stand-alone application, or as a web browser applet.
The Jmol applet is also used in Molecular Workbench.

- ↑ Jmol was initiated before 2000 by Dan Gezelter, and many programmers contributed to it including Bradley A. Smith, Egon Willighagen, and Cristoph Steinbeck. In 2002, Miguel Howard volunteered as the primary developer. He made many major enhancements including drastically improved performance, support for macromolecules, and implementation of the RasMol / Chime script command language. Howard's work culminated in the release of an open-source replacement for Chime in 2006. Subsequently, Robert M. Hanson became lead developer, and has vastly enhanced Jmol's capabilities.
