Finder Quick Look for molecular files on macOS
7 followers
Burrete is a macOS molecular file workspace with Finder Quick Look previews. Press Space for PDB, mmCIF, SDF, MOL, XYZ and more, then use the desktop app for Mol* 3D, RDKit grids, Ketcher and file workflows. Open-source and local-first for computational chemistry.
Does this integrate with existing chemoinformatics pipelines, or would I need to build custom scripts to feed structures into something like RDKit notebooks? Also curious about how the Mol* 3D viewer handles very large complexes like ribosomes.
How does the local-first setup handle really big structures, like full ribosome assemblies, without dragging down the Quick Look preview latency?
Quick Look previews for PDB and mmCIF files directly in Finder is genuinely useful, saves me from opening the full app just to check a structure. The Mol* 3D integration with RDKit grids is a nice touch.
Pressing Space to peek at a PDB file in Finder feels like something that should have existed years ago, and the Mol* 3D view loaded surprisingly fast on my laptop.
