Abstract

In this presentation, the possible role of computer graphics in macromolecular chemistry is demonstrated by reference to a molecular model building program running on a computer with a graphics console. The program was developed to pursue studies in protein configurations. A description of the program is given together with examples of the display produced.

Rights

The conference was supported by the University of Illinois and a grant from the National Science Foundation.
