Easy and complete desktop-modeling environment for a biologist or a chemist interested in molecular structure and function.

ICM enpowers a biologist or chemist with a lighting fast access and high quality interactive 3D views to the entire sturctural database. In just a few seconds you can browse hundreds of structures of interest load them, analyze and visualize sequences, structures, alignments, sites, study pockets and bound ligands and drugs, study surfaces, mutations, pockets, sequence conservations.

A special compact form of PDB (xpdb-mini) is designed and is freely distributed to reach the high speed of access. ICM supports multiple input formats. You can search structural database by field, sequence pattern and get an interactive table for instant viewing.

ICM offers a rich graphical environment and powerful views for professional quality of images and molecular animation videos. ICM supports two kinds of stereo, including a high quality "in-window" mode, as well as a stereo mode which does not require any special hardware. The newest features of the graphics user interface include:

* the master view with multiple molecular objects, 3D meshes, sequences, alignments
* instant connection/cross-selection between 3D objects, sequences and alignments
* selections at any level in both master view, sequence view, alignment view and graphics view
* selections at the secondary structure level
* dynamic pop-up menus for molecules, residues, 3D meshes, sequences, alignments, maps, and selections
* drag-and-drop: drop a molecule from the master view to the graphics screen and it will get displayed
* interactive result-table browser and interactive plots connecting 3D graphics, master view and table records (see the above ICM view of human chromosomes).
