Download DeepView (Swiss-PdbViewer):

Current Version:DeepView (Swiss-PdbViewer) v3.7sp5(4.5 Mb)

Requirements:
- Version 3.7 (SP5) requiresglibc-2.2 or higher, e.g. RH 8.x/9.x.
- I.e. this version will not run under RedHat 7.x
- OpenGL libraries
- openmotif-2.2.2

If you are running RedHat 7.x or similar systems, please use one of the previous versions:
Swiss-PdbViewer v3.7 (4.6 Mb, RH 7.x)

Old versions:
Swiss-PdbViewer v3.7b2 (stable Beta version, 6.0 Mb)
Swiss-Pdb Viewer (v36b3) (Beta version)
Swiss-PdbViewer v3.5

Installation:

tar xzf spdbv3.x-Linux.tar.gz

cd SPDBV_DISTRIBUTION

./install.sh

If you have problems installing spdbv, see 'FAQ: Installing Swiss Pdb Viewer' for technical details. If you are using remote display (which is not recommended), please note that OpenGL/glut must be installed on the remote machine.

Please, note that the keys and shortcuts will best match the user guide for the Mac version, not for the PC version. However, the Control-Key is mapped to the right Alt Key. The middle mouse button can be used to move the molecule, and the right mouse button can be used to zoom in/out.

The Linux version is a port of the Macintosh version done using a preliminary release of Latitude for Linux kindly made available by Metrowerks Inc. We wish to thank Kevin Buetner for his support, and Greg Galanos for allowing us to release a version of Swiss-PdbViewer that makes use of Latitude.

Join the Swiss-PdbViewer Discussion Group: You can use this forum for sharing ideas, questions, and concerns about Swiss-PdbViewer and its applications in research, teaching, and publishing.

The current stable version is 3.7.

We have just added a few new tutorial pages that explain some of the new features:

• how to compute molecular surfaces,
• electrostatic potentials and
• how to perform energy minimization directly from the program.
• support for hardware stereo, and also openGL on the PC instead of Quickdraw3D.
• Scripting Language: The DeepView scripting language supports variables, conditional branching, loops, arrays and file access.
• Direct Server support: You may import PDB or ExPDB files, SwissProt entries etc. into Swiss-Pdb Viewer directly from the network.
• OpenGL support for Mac.
• The Find dialog has been improved (PROSITE pattern search) allowing for mismatches.

Now download the MacPCSGILinux version:
