MarvinSpace

MarvinSpace is a 3D visualization tool for small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids or crystals. Using MarvinSpace you can also visualize various molecular surfaces, molecular orbitals as well as volumetric data such as electrostatic potential, hydrophobicity. Manual editing in 3D is also suported. Learn more about MarvinSpace »

MarvinView

MarvinView is an advanced chemical viewer for single and multiple chemical structures, queries, reactions and non chemical data included in the file. MarvinView allows easy scrolling of thousands of molecules either in a grid view or in a spreadsheet view. In addition to the support of reporting and publishing MarvinView also enables users to perform structure calculations. Learn more about MarvinView »
