ProteinShader Description

Produce illustrative renderings of proteins

By exploiting recent advances in programmable graphics cards, the ProteinShader program can produce illustrative renderings of proteins that approximate what an artist might create using pen and ink. The custom texture mapping and lighting calculations for rendering these images are implemented using vertex and fragment shaders written in the OpenGL Shading Language, which is supported on most new graphics cards for ordinary desktop and laptop computers. Vertex and fragment shaders are also used for mapping text labels and decorative textures onto the curved surfaces of tubes and ribbons shown in color.

ProteinShader is a free, open-source molecular visualization project distributed under the GNU General Public License. To run this platform-independent program a computer must have Java 1.5 or higher and a graphics card that supports at least OpenGL 2.0.

The ProteinShader program knows how to read a Protein Data Bank structure file, which is essentially a listing of the xyz-coordinates of the atoms in a protein. The protein can be displayed in either an atom-style or a cartoon-style view. An atom-style display uses spheres and cylinders to represent atoms and bonds, respectively, while a cartoon view uses ribbons or tubes to represent the backbone of the protein.
