Classic features
- Supports all major structural data formats (PDBx/mmcif, PDB, SDF).
- All common visualization models ('balls-n-sticks'/cartoon/Cα-trace/VDW spheres/surfaces).
- Displays electron densities for X-ray crystallographic structures and electric potential maps for cryo-EM models.
- Available as a standalone viewer or as a [https://github.com/dsehnal/LiteMol library} for embedding into third party applications.

Advanced features
- Introduces the BinaryCIF a compression format compatible with standard PDBx/mmCIF format greatly reducing amount of transferred data.
- CoordinateServer allows for streaming only parts of the structure models relevant for user deemed visualization. This further decreases the amount of transferred data and facilitates near instant responsiveness even for huge structures like ribosomes and viral capsids. All in your web browser.
- DensityServer allows instant access to full resolution user deemed slices of electron density (e.g. binding sites) and down sampled surface of the entire biomacromolecular structure.
- Displays PDB validation reports and ValidatorDB ligand validation.
- Displays sequence annotations from Pfam, InterPro, [www.cathdb.info CATH], SCOP, UniProt.
- Visualizer which requires only an up to date web browser with no dependencies needed. Runs on all mobile devices.
- Minimal memory footprint.
