| Description: Protein Explorer is a software for looking at macromolecular structure and its relation to function. It is a RasMol-like interface implemented in Chime, but that the Protein Explorer can offer much greater assistance and automation. Thus, the Protein Explorer can make visual exploration of protein structure much more accessible to novices, occasional users, or nonspecialists, as well as making it much more convenient than RasMol, even for experts. Protein Explorer supports nearly all RasMol commands, plus additional Chime-specific commands. However, Protein Explorer version 1.71 Beta is much easier to use, and considerably more powerful than RasMol. Much exploration can be accomplished without learning any of the command language common to RasMol and Chime. The main goal is for novices to be able to concentrate on the molecular structure, not on the software required to see it. It can be used on Unix or Windows 95/98/2000/NT or Power Macintosh machines. |
