The 0.2.1 release has rasmol and Cn3D, both described on the applications page:

http://bioknoppix.hpcf.upr.edu/applications

There are some nicer protein structure viewers, but the ones we have
seen have restrictions on redistribution, preventing us from including
them on the bioknoppix disk.

rasmol and Cn3D work for .pdb files and the structure databases at NCBI.
