Mol* ("MolStar") is a molecular visualization program that can be used to import, visualize, and align multiple structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). It is the main 3D visualization program used at rcsb.org/.
This video demonstrates how to use Mol* to create an image of component proteins (PA, PB1, and PB2) are shown with semi-transparent molecular surfaces, bound to ANP32B (dark blue, ribbon representation) as used in “Figure 8a: 3DEM structure of two copies of H5N1 RdRp bound to one copy of human ANP32B (PDB ID 8r1j” of
