QuteMol is an
GPUs through OpenGL shaders to offer an array of innovative visual effects. QuteMol visualization techniques are aimed at improving clarity and an easier understanding of the 3D shape and structure of large molecules or complex proteins.[2]
In 2021 the IEEE Visualization Conference awarded the paper introducing QuteMol with the Test of Time Award to testify that "contents are still vibrant and useful today and have had a major impact and influence within and beyond the visualization community." [3]
Features available in QuteMol include:[4]
- Real Time ambient occlusion
- Depth Aware Silhouette Enhancement
- Ball and Sticks, space-filling and Liquorice visualization modes
- High resolution antialiased snapshots for creating publication quality renderings
- Interactive rendering of large molecules and protein (100k atoms)
- Standard Protein Data Bank input.
Notably after many years since the last release QuteMol is still used in the molecular visualization community as can be testified by searching on
google scholar for papers citing explicitly the tool or the paper for creating high quality images of molecules.[5]
