We have developed a new platform-independent web-based molecular viewer using JavaScript and WebGL. The molecular viewer, Molmil, has been integrated into several services offered by Protein Data Bank Japan and can be easily extended with new functionality by third party developers. Furthermore, the viewer can be used to load files in various formats from the user’s local hard drive without uploading the data to a server. Molmil is available for all platforms supporting WebGL (e.g. Windows, Linux, iOS, Android) from.

The source code is available at under the LGPLv3 licence. Molecular viewers are a vital tool for our understanding of protein structures and functions. The shift from regular desktop platforms such as Windows, Mac OSX and Linux, to mobile platforms such as iOS and Android in the last half-decade, however, prevents traditional online molecular viewers such as PDBj’s previously developed jV [ ] and the popular Jmol [ ] from running on these new platforms as these platforms do not support Java Applets.
