PyMOL is a molecular visualization stand-alone program that is very popular with protein crystallographers because of the high quality of its rendering, its speed and versatility. A large percentage of the figures in journal publications reporting new macromolecular structures are created using PyMOL. PyMOL is the creation of Warren Delano. It has an innovative license: it is open source but not free: ready-to-run downloads (binaries) and up-to-date documentation require payment of modest annual subscription fees. A free version is available to educators for use in teaching students.
