ICM-Browser provides a biologist or a chemist with direct access to the treasures of structural biology and protein families. It reads PDB files or alignment files directly from the database web-sites and provides rich professional molecular graphics environment with powerful representations of proteins, DNA and RNA, and multiple sequence alignments.

Here are some key features of "ICMBrowser":
powerful PDB search engine giving direct local access to all PDB files without downloading the database
rich and fast molecular graphics tool box including multiple high quality representations, FOG-effect, side-by-side stereo, full-screen mode, adjustable perspective, multilevel selection
an unlimited number of pdb files (until total computer memory is exhausted), sequences and alignments can be loaded simultaneously
colored alignments of publication quality, consensus coloring
high resolution molecular images
selection sensitive display dialog
control over representation quality for fast speed; easy rotation mode
instant cross-selection between 3D objects, sequences and alignments
selections at multiple levels in workspace, 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 workspace to the graphics screen and it will be displayed
interactive result - table browser and interactive plots.
