PDB 3D model viewer

A simple and easy to use 3D viewer for molecular PDB files. You can load a saved PDB file from your computer or search for a structure using its PDB ID. The viewer will also play PDB animation files to help analyse molecular dynamics simulations.

Enter a PDB ID (for example 1CRN, 1BNA, 7K00) or search RCSB by keyword, then load the structure. You can also upload a .pdb file from your computer.

Switch display styles (cartoon, stick, line, sphere, surface) and colours from the controls below the viewer. Multi-model PDB files can be stepped through as an animation — useful for inspecting molecular dynamics trajectories. Structures are fetched from the RCSB when you use a PDB ID; local files stay on your machine.
