Problem is, once I get going with a program, I usually am reluctant to try something new (which is why I still use Microsoft office-which I do believe is an instrument of the devil-- instead of LaTex)but I will have to check it out...Dr. Zeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629573911979369646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113839022977003812.post-35780614464089203442009-07-12T09:22:38.791-05:002009-07-12T09:22:38.791-05:00Yea, but PyMOL really is open-source and ships wit...Yea, but PyMOL really is open-source and ships with several versions of Linux. VMD is more like Microsoft shared source: you can look, you can touch, but you sure as hell cannot redistribute (inside Linux, etc.). Also VMD isn't really free: it has cost U.S. taxpayers million$ wheras PyMOL's only funding comes from people who actually use it. Anyway, they're different and both good at some things. Say have you tried Chimera from UCSF? Now that's a really easy to use program! It kicks both PyMOL's and VMD's butts IMHO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113839022977003812.post-40855150581019570492009-07-12T08:54:01.554-05:002009-07-12T08:54:01.554-05:00LOL!
