Finder Quick Look for molecular files on macOS
6 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?
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.
