The APBS software was developed to solve the equations of continuum electrostatics for large biomolecular assemblages. APBS has enjoyed widespread adoption throughout the biomedical community and is used in numerous applications involving biomolecular structures. However, visualization of complex biomolecular electrostatic properties can be challenging for two-dimensional graphics systems. Therefore, advanced visualization and manipulation capabilities have been incorporated. In particular, APBS tools have been integrated with the UnityMolX virtual reality platform to provide an immersive experience for preparing biomolecular systems for calculations as well as visualizing and comparing calculated results.
