Step inside the molecular world. Vision ProTein brings protein structures to life in your space, letting you reach out and interact with the very building blocks of biology. From hemoglobin carrying oxygen through your blood to the enzymes powering your cells, explore the structures that make life possible — rendered in breathtaking 3D detail.
Using your hands, rotate, scale, and move molecular structures freely in your environment. Switch between three powerful visualization modes to reveal different layers of biological detail. Learn from built-in educational content or dive deep into research-grade analysis.
THREE WAYS TO SEE MOLECULES
• Sphere Mode — Space-filling van der Waals representation shows atoms at their true relative sizes, revealing how tightly packed molecular machinery really is. Animate multi-chain proteins apart for a clear view of each subunit.
• Ribbon Mode — The classic biochemistry diagram. Alpha helices coil as ribbons, beta sheets fan out as arrows, and loops connect them as fine tubes. Color by secondary structure, by chain, or uniformly.
• Ball & Stick Mode — Atomic-level detail with element-colored spheres and bond cylinders. Tap any residue to identify it — see its name, chain, sequence position, and biological role. Includes ligands and water molecules.
• Highlight binding site residues automatically from SITE annotations
• Browse tagged residues in a scrollable panel with full amino acid details
FULLY HANDS-ON IN 3D SPACE
Interact naturally using Apple Vision Pro's hand tracking. Pinch and drag to move a protein anywhere in your room. Spread two hands apart to scale up to room size, or pinch together to shrink it down. Rotate with both hands around any axis. No controllers needed — just your hands.
BUILT-IN PROTEINS & EDUCATION
Start immediately with four iconic structures — hemoglobin, catalase, mitochondrial F1-ATPase, and glutamine synthetase. The Education tab includes an interactive glossary, CPK color guide, and explanations of every visualization mode. Protein biology meets immersive learning.

Vision ProTein Colab
Research-grade tools. Real-time collaboration.
Colab is built for researchers, educators, and science enthusiasts who want the full power of Vision ProTein. Load structures from any URL, work with multiple proteins simultaneously, and invite others to explore alongside you in real time over SharePlay.
Colab includes everything in Plus, plus:
Advanced Loading
• Download PDB or mmCIF files from any URL
• Load and compare multiple protein structures simultaneously, each with independent position, scale, and visualization controls
Residue Tagging
• Use your left hand in Tag Mode to select residues by proximity
• Adjust the selection radius (0–15 Å) to fine-tune your region of interest
Measurement Tool
• Enter Measure Mode to select any two atoms and read the distance between them in ångströms
• Visual markers and connecting lines make atomic distances instantly clear
Real-Time SharePlay Collaboration
• Start a shared viewing session over FaceTime or with nearby Apple Vision Pro users
• All visualization modes, tagged residues, and selections stay synchronized across participants in real time
4K Spatial Snapshots
• Export at up to 4096 × 4096 pixels
