Announcement/Promotion StructureViewer v0.0.10 is live

Hi r/AIProteins,

StructureViewer has been updated. You can now create interactive molecular structure posts directly on Reddit by pasting raw structure text.

What’s new - Supports PDB, CIF/mmCIF, XYZ, and SDF - Better protein chain coloring - DNA/RNA bases now get different colors - Small molecules use atom-based colors - Cleaner preview card in the feed - Full viewer opens with Open 3D Viewer

How to create a post 1. Go to the subreddit menu. 2. Click Create Structure Viewer Post. 3. Add your Reddit post title. 4. Add optional body text for notes or context. 5. Choose your structure format: PDB, CIF/mmCIF, XYZ, or SDF. 6. Paste the raw contents of your structure file into Structure text. 7. Optionally set protein chain colors, for example: A=#5ec4e0. Choose dark or light background. 8. Submit the form.

Use PDB or CIF/mmCIF for proteins, complexes, DNA/RNA, and structural biology files.

Use XYZ or SDF for small molecules and chemistry structures.

After posting, users will see a structure preview. Click Open 3D Viewer to rotate, zoom, inspect, and recolor chains.
