About this extension
For computational biologists, structural bioinformaticians, and chemists, reviewing code and data often means navigating massive repositories of structural files (.pdb, .mmcif, .gro, etc.).
Historically, simply "taking a peek" at a structure meant a tedious workflow: downloading the file locally, opening a desktop client like PyMOL or ChimeraX, and manually applying representations. Structure Linker eliminates this friction. By seamlessly integrating the powerful Mol viewer (via MolViewSpec) directly into your Git environment, Mol Linker allows you to instantly visualize 3D molecular structures in a single click, right from your browser, without ever leaving your repository.
