Mol* Improvements #205

This "issue" will serve as a place holder to summarize the current teams thoughts on next steps for Mol*.

Description

Read through the Mol documentation left by our team, there should be Mol branches (Molstar-updated) on the front end.

Currently we have single protein visualizations working. The next step would be visualizing alignments, there seems to be existing functionality for this but the team ran into some issues.

  1. The active site alignments are not all displaying, each new active site clears the previous one.
  2. Make sure the activesite alignments are correct once they all display.

After activesite alignments, next is docking. The backend sends a single pdb file for docking so this should probably just be handed directly to mol* in the same way a single protein is visualized, but it may be more complicated than that.

Finally once all of the functionality is there, discuss with the sponsors UX, what configurations are needed and construct a UX testing plan.
