Molecular modeling the 3D placement of atoms relative to each other in biological molecules like proteins, small molecules, nucleic acids, sugars (carbohydrates), and fats (lipids) gives a lot of information about how the molecule works. Visualizing molecule structure in different ways highlights different aspects. For example, emphasizing the overall shape of a virus particle vs the electrostatic pattern around a small molecule drug. Visualization helps scientists understand the molecules they’re studying as well as communicate their findings.
