What Nanome is

Nanome is a collaborative molecular visualization and drug discovery platform for reviewing protein and small-molecule structures across web, XR headsets, and its MARA AI copilot. Users can measure and select structures, build molecules, analyze protein-ligand interactions, review docking poses, play molecular dynamics, and render results. Multiple participants can join the same workspace in real time across web and XR. MARA offers more than 300 scientific tools across 26 categories, including docking, structure prediction, cheminformatics, genomics, and materials science. Each MARA tool has REST API access; Nanome also lists Jupyter integration, a Claude Code skill, and an MCP server. Listed integrations include Schrödinger LiveDesign, CDD Vault, OpenEye/Cadence, Discngine 3decision, KNIME Server, CCG MOE, Boltz, and OpenFold. The free web tier accepts PDB, SDF, and CIF files. Starter includes three workspaces, one project, 50 MARA credits, five recent files, and seven days of chat history. Paid plans start at $4.17 per user per month, billed annually, with a 50-license minimum for Academic Department plans. New accounts get a 14-day full-license trial without a credit card.
