6. FirstGlance in Jmol ≠ Jmol!
Jmol (jmol.org) is a large international open-source project active since before 2000.
Lead developer since 2006 is Robert Hanson (St. Olaf Collete, Northfield MN).
Jmol is no easier to use than PyMOL, etc.
FirstGlance in Jmol (firstglance.jmol.org) is a user interface that makes Jmol’s power accessible to a wide range of users.
First available in 2006, it is developed by Eric Martz, following his experience with Protein Explorer. It is used in 3D View links in Nature Structure.
