✦ Synopsis


Computer programs have been designed to generate three dimensional models of protein structures. Depth perception is achived by decreasing the line intensity of the covalent bonds as the atoms move further from the observer. The molecular models could be constructed from x-ray data or from simulated atomic coordinates. Camputer generated molecular models provide a fast, accurate and dynamic alternative to classical molecular model construction.

Conformational analysis of proteins is complicated by the presence of thousands of atoms which often are involved in multiple interactions. As a result, complete molecular models of proteins contain a relatively high information density. Computer graphics provides a means of controlling the flow of

X-ray crystallography has yielded the detailed three-dimensional geometry for a number of proteins. In order to interpret the atomic interactions within a protein molecule, it is usually necessary to construct molecular models.

The study of polypeptide and protein structure with computer-generated molecular models provides numerous advantages over conventional framework molecular models. One notable advantage is the dynamic nature of the computer model. Computer programs, discussed in this report, transform the coordinates

The dynamic nature of computer models is discussed. In addition to varying the three dimensional position of atoms and the amount of detail presented in a given model, the computer is also able to change the position of the camera relative to the atoms of a protein model.Thus, thecameracould be posi
