  We started Nanome in 2015 as a basic molecular builder for modern VR hardware. Since then, we’ve integrated a variety of features for educators, researchers, and drug designers. Today, Nanome users can import, visualize, and modify macromolecular and protein structures via intuitive 3D interaction. Nanome is free on Steam, Oculus, and VivePort.

  A few months ago, we shared CalcFlow, our open source VR graphing calculator, with HN. We received a lot of valuable criticism and are looking for more of the same.

  Nanome is used at big-three Pharma companies and in classrooms in the University of California system. We also recently announced a partnership with the RCSB Protein Data Bank.

  Nanome does not replace industry standard drug design tools like PyMol and MOE. Soon, Nanome will integrate with these tools via a plugin system, letting professionals bring VR interfaces into their established workflows.

  This is super cool. I am glad I live in the future.

  Can it fold proteins?
