For structural biologists and computational modelers, annotating and manipulating structures with conventional two-dimensional molecular graphics software is routine. However, presenting this data in format suitable to share and engage non-expert scientists is challenging. We will describe an intuitive virtual world for viewing, manipulating, and modifying chemical and macromolecular structures in a fully immersive and collaborative 3D environment. By reducing the barriers to viewing and interacting with structural data, structural analysis can be democratized to a general scientist, which in turn fosters novel collaboration, ideas, and findings in structural biology and structure-based drug discovery.
