Overview:
Once a macromolecular structure has been determined, the
challenge is to communicate that information to a widely
diverse audience of scientists, educators and students.
Current options include the printed literature and dissemination
over the Internet, either via online journals or directly
on personal web pages. Printed literature has the advantage
of wide acceptance and availability, but presents static
images. Web pages can be powerful, but lack a uniform format.
Furthermore, any dynamic images that are presented are subject
to the whims of the providers of the browsers and plug-ins
that are required to view them. At the University of California,
San Diego and the Scripps Institute, we are developing the
BioEditor as a tool to bridge the gap between the printed
literature and current Internet presentation formats. It
is a standalone Windows application that can be used to
prepare and present structure annotations containing formatted
text, graphics, sequence data, and interactive molecular
views. This presentation will summarize the features of
BioEditor and provide an overview of a series of annotations
that have been developed on DNA-protein complexes.
