FoldVision

Capture publication-ready snapshots, export molecules as USDZ 3D models, and explore a new translucent surface view of any protein.

FoldVision brings protein structures into your space on Apple Vision Pro. Load any experimentally determined structure from the RCSB Protein Data Bank, or a predicted model from AlphaFold, and explore it at life-like scale right in front of you. You can even paste a raw amino acid sequence and fold it into a 3D structure in seconds with ESMFold.

Reach out to rotate, move, and resize a molecule with your hands. Floating panels follow the structure as you move it, so your controls stay close at hand - and you can place them wherever you like.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Load any structure by ID, or browse the RCSB PDB and AlphaFold
• Fold a raw amino acid sequence into a 3D structure in seconds with ESMFold
• Start instantly from a curated Featured list on the home screen
• View in multiple rendering styles, from space-filling spheres to ribbon and backbone
• Color by element, chain, secondary structure, B-factor / confidence, or protein domain
• See UniProt annotations - protein domains, active sites, and binding sites - mapped onto the structure
• Measure the distance between any two atoms in Angstroms
• Focus on individual residues just by looking at them
• Explore in mixed immersion (in your room) or full immersion

FoldVision is built natively for visionOS and designed for students, educators, researchers, and anyone curious about the molecular machinery of life.

Structure data is provided by the RCSB Protein Data Bank (rcsb.org) and the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (alphafold.ebi.ac.uk). Structure prediction is powered by ESMFold (esmatlas.com).
