PyMOL is a user-sponsored molecular visualization system created by Warren Lyford DeLano and now maintained by Schrödinger, Inc[@delano2002]. It is the most widely used tool for visualizing three-dimensional structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecules, making it indispensable for neurodegeneration research. PyMOL enables researchers to generate publication-quality images and animations of molecular structures critical to understanding disease mechanisms in Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and related disorders.
