This workshop provides an introduction to the fundamentals of utilizing PyMOL, a protein visualization software. Being among the early freely available programs online, PyMOL can be operated using code or a graphical user interface (GUI). Users can import protein structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and visualize them in PyMOL. The software enables users to view protein structures in various forms (stick, cartoon, helix, etc.), apply different colors to subunits/molecules/amino acids/chains, perform amino acid mutations, inspect the protein’s surface charge, and much more.
