Abstract

Entering the post-genome era with an increasing amount of protein data available in public databases, the study of tertiary structure of proteins has been actively in progress. To analyze the structure of a protein effectively, it is necessary to visualize the tertiary structure of a protein. Recently, many visualization tools based on Java technology have been developed to visualize a protein whose structure has been known. In this paper, we describe a new protein visualization system, named JProtein. It is designed to be an easy-to-use, platform neutral molecular visualization tool. The JProtein System is developed using Java3D technology. Java3D is an API providing a programming interface for 3D representations. The system informs us the angle and the distance of the interacting atoms in amino acids which are visualized, providing several 3D representation models of a protein molecule. In particular, the JProtein system presents synchronous stereo view as well as asynchronous one.
