Rotate bond angles and measure dihedral angles Undo/Redo : Easily revert and edit with a full history of the workspace

: Easily revert and edit with a full history of the workspace The Molecular Browser Menu has been split into 2 new menus: the Entry List and Hierarchy Menu.

Within the Hierarchy Menu, there’s a new search bar for faster searching and browsing for atom or residue names/numbers

Load images into Nanome for easy reference (.png, .jpg and .jpeg files supported)

Load PDF files from My Files Menu

Shrink/expand the selection by residues in the Distance tab of the Advanced Selection menu

Further enhancements for Electron Density Map support

New Shortcuts on the Wrist Menu for the Plugin System and De-Selecting

Major New Features

Medchem Tools: A Massive Boost to Building

Overview of the MedChem Tool

Medicinal Chemists and Designers rejoice! We’ve reworked our molecular builder into the Medchem Panel. Loaded with dozens of preset functional groups, as well as rings and chains, the new Medchem Panel allows you to build quickly in 3D. Best of all, the tool automatically minimizes your functional groups.

Building with the MedChem Tool

Torsion Tools

Get even more hands-on with our new bond rotation tool. Now you can rotate and measure the dihedral angle of a selected bond with a simple twist of your wrist.

Undo/Redo:

A feature that needs little introduction. Design and browse faster without having to worry about making a mistake!

Goodbye Molecular Browser Menu, Hello Entry List

We’ve split up the large, clunky molecular menu with two streamlined submenus: the Entry List and the Hierarchy Menu.

The Entry List is largely similar to the molecular browser, listing all your structures and submenus, and still acting as the “default menu”.

We’ve also added an additional feature: Invert Selection. Invert Selection will allow you to quickly select and deselect specific parts of your structure.

Accessing the Hierarchy Menu is simple as shown below. This menu is a much more organized list of all your specific structure’s chains and atoms. We’ve also added a search bar for faster searching and browsing.

Load Images and PDFs into Nanome

Another workflow optimization! Now you won’t need to take off your headset or switch windows. Nanome now supports .png, .jpg and .jpeg files, as well as .pdf files. These files will appear as new windows and can be resized like any other. Simply access through “My Files” under the Load Menu.

Other Optimizations and Fixes

Added support in loading interactions and electron density maps from Pymol files.

Added ability to cancel a connection and exit while joining a room.

Names for a public room now use display names instead of usernames by default

Modified Electron Density Map viewer to adapt its radius range to the map’s resolution

Reduced memory usage by molecules and deleting items

Improved hover and selection color for molecules

Menus now teleport to the new presenter when presenter changes

If you have not yet tried Nanome, you can download it on the Oculus Store or Steam. We’re very excited about all of these new updates and look forward to hearing your feedback.
