Clarity over decoration
A visual cookbook for molecular graphics / 001—026
Make your
PyMOL beautiful.
A curated gallery of molecular visualization styles. Find a look, copy the PyMOL code, and bring it to your own structure.

Start with a point
of view.
A few visual directions to set the tone: publication clarity, binding-site focus, and a little cinematic drama.

Structure as sculpture
One structure / many readings
Same molecule.
Different language.
Switch the visual treatment while keeping the molecular example consistent. The structure stays; the story changes.
BROWSER PREVIEW IS A VISUAL REFERENCE — NOT A PYМOL RENDER.

The idea
The molecule is the artwork.
The script is the recipe.
PyMOL Art Gallery is a visual inspiration gallery and styling cookbook. The browser previews are illustrative 3D views; the copied scripts are the actual PyMOL commands. Presets use common selections where practical, and comments point out the parts you may want to adapt.

worth sharing?
Send a PyMOL visualization recipe to the gallery. Keep it focused: a useful style, a short explanation, and the commands someone else can copy and adapt.
Submissions are reviewed before they become part of the public collection. No file
upload is required.
The person behind the gallery
Science, but
make it visible.
PyMOL Art Gallery grew from an interest in the space between pharmacy, structural biology, computational drug discovery, and scientific software — where the way a result is visualized can shape how easily it is understood.
My work spans molecular docking, molecular dynamics, DFT, drug repurposing, and small tools built for pharmacists and researchers.
