    Exactly. But this is "is funded through R01GM108340 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences."

  It seems like the number of options for in-browser molecular visualisation have increased recently, which makes me feel all the better for not getting around to integrating molecular vis into a protein centric tool I've been working on. I'd wonder why now seems like the right time to develop these tools? What was the main implementation stumbling block 5 years ago? As a nice touch, at least one of the demo pages works well on mobile, so I'm looking forward to playing with this.

    I've developed a similar WebGL-based protein visualization tool (http://github.com/biasmv/pv http://github.com/biasmv/pv). WebGL has only become a serious options in the past year or so. Before that, WebGL availability was a big blocker. Since the Java applets were working on a wider range of browsers people tended to stick with the established technology. This has certainly changed now as people also want to visualize proteins on their mobile devices.

      Very cool! I'd like to develop something similar for viewing crystal structures (more solid state). Are there any particular challenges that I should be aware of? The last time I made a viewer was using VTK for the desktop...
