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 UnityMol-APBS virtual reality platform to provide an immersive experiencefor preparing biomolecular systems for calculations as well as visualizing and comparing calculated results  .
Virtual reality is a powerful tool with the ability to immerse a user within a completely external environment. This immersion is particularly useful when visualizing and analyzing interactions between URLanic molecules, molecular URLanic complexes, and biomolecular systems such as redox proteins and enzymes. A common tool used in the biomedical community to analyze such interactions is the APBS software, which was developed to solve the equations of continuum electrostatics for large biomolecular assemblages. Numerous applications exist for using APBS in the biomedical community including analysis of protein ligand interactions and APBS has enjoyed widespread adoption throughout the biomedical community . Currently, typical use of the full APBS toolset is completed via the command line followed by visualization using a variety of two-dimensional external molecular visualization software. This process has inherent limitations: visualization of three-dimensional objects using a two-dimensional interface masks important information within the depth component. Herein, we have developed a single application, UnityMol-APBS , that provides a dual experience where users can utilize the full range of the APBS toolset, without the use of a command line interface, by use of a simple for either a standard desktop or immersive virtual reality experience .
