Sirius is designed to support advanced user requirements that go beyond simple display of small molecules and proteins.
Sirius supports high quality interactive 3D graphics, structure building, displaying protein or DNA primary sequences, access to remote data sources, and visualizing molecular dynamics trajectories.
Added commands introduced in Sirius provide support for manipulating multiple structures loaded at the same time, and enable more flexible selection.
Extant RasMol scripts can be imported and run within Sirius to produce high quality representations of encoded molecular scenes.
The full trajectory or selected frames can be exported as QuickTime video or a set of POV-Ray scene snapshots that can later be converted to a high quality movie.
