Molecular Structure Viewer
Visualize and interact with molecular structures in Codex.
Molecular Structure Viewer provides a compact Select, Analyze, Compare, Related data, Style, Animate, and Export workbench over Mol*. Use one revisioned atom-level query and scene contract across the UI and Codex to measure geometry, browse source-relative molecular companions, inspect contacts and density, compare aligned structures, style independent layers, play trajectories, restore named scenes and durable digest-bound projects, export provenance-rich results, and render publication images or editable presentation movies.
Runs locally: needs the ChatGPT desktop app or Codex with local execution enabled.

Things to ask
- “Open RCSB 1YCR once; analyze 4 Å MDM2–p53 contacts and buried area, label p53 Phe19/Trp23/Leu26, and report methods.”
- “Open RCSB 4AKE once; add 1AKE to the same viewer, align chain A, color teal/magenta, show AP5, and report RMSD/TM-scores.”
- “Open RCSB 1EMA once; style and label its chromophore; save a versioned 1600×1200 PNG to structure-viewer/gfp.png with sidecar.”
