* Protein Explorer does a better job of reformatting the information in the [[PDB file]] header into a compact yet intelligible format, and explaining the terminology involved (e.g. Resolution, R value and Rfree) than does any other macromolecular visualization package. | |||
* Its NMR/Animation control panel facilitates exploration and animation of multiple-model PDB files, with great flexibility and control. It generates an animation script, from menus and buttons, that runs in both Chime and RasMol. Running this script in RasMol saves each frame as a .gif snapshot file, and these can then be assembled into a multi-gif movie.

* | * Protein Explorer's MSA3D can color a 3D protein model by evolutionary conservation from a multiple-sequence alignment containing as few as two sequences. Although the [[Conservation, Evolutionary|ConSurf Server]] does a superior job of mapping evolutionary conservation onto a 3D structure, it requires a minimum of five sequences. | ||
