Abstract :
A computer system is presented for the visualization of proteins. It runs on a UNIX-based computer graphics workstation. The system provides a substantial increase in understanding of protein structural features, knowledge about which will assist in prediction work. An experiment with the system carried out using the wheat germ agglutinin protein, suggests that the complete set of inter-mainchain hydrogen bonds be used in describing protein structures
