Hello to All, If you can read this, I have successfully transmitted my first message to the forum.
I would like to jump in on the request concerning example programs (BH 15 Feb 2008) the future of Jmol (BH 17-march-2008). First, I would like to thank Bob Hanson for helping to set up the interaction between Visual Basic (VB) and Jmol, and I appreciate the examples by Eric Martz (since I am also working on the globins). My problems are a bit different from others, since VB is running the show – the Jmol applet shows up as an interior window. I can do all the calculations in VB and Jmol is used for the final display. At present my priority is developing the program for protein engineers, rather than pushing Jmol to its limits. My program uses the natural protein parameters: AA type or Seq position. Based on the user choice various graphs or 3D are displayed. This is meant to help in the selection of preparing mutant proteins at critical sites. The demo (PC-Windows) program of SeqView using the globins (hemoglobin, myoglobin, neuroglobin, etc.) is currently available at the Website for human globin variants (http://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/menu.html) : http://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/seqview.html I was initially motivated by the difficulty of exploiting the growing database of sequences. back to the forum. As already mentioned, other programs already provide the possibility of including user selection of AA, Seq-pos. I think there would be an endless list of such features that reinvent the wheel. I would rather see Jmol continue to progress at what it is designed for – 3D: 1) enhanced secondary structure elements, such as alpha helices 2) enhanced display of differences between two proteins (the globins, for example, all look alike at first view). 3) Ray tracing output (via the applet).
