Computer-generated pictures of proteins

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter describes the applications of a computer program that draws stereoscopic pictures biological macromolecules. The makes it easy to explore various ways depicting structure, including free mixing in single drawing different styles representation portions molecule, together with labels and comments. initial motives for applying graphics are unwieldliness instability physical models their readiness denature, fact space material requirements increase as more structures appear. To gain ability produce diagrams provide flexibility essential mix representations one picture, has been compiled into coherent many macromolecules have proved utility. visual display is principal tool computational molecular biology. discusses basic operation program. It includes line drawings, picture generation color-raster output.
