Abstract :
A collaborative virtual reality environment (CRVE) can be used in molecular biology because it can provide users with virtual experiences of three dimensional molecular models in cyberspaces. Therefore, we developed a remote collaboration system for molecular docking and crystallography using virtual reality techniques. The collaborative works of molecular docking were successfully exercised. We also conducted visualization and manipulation of three dimensional biomolecular models and supported discussions of remote participants for crystallography using the collaborative system.
