Homology Modeling

Animated  Models

Graphs and Spreadsheet


Animated models of Papaya proteinase are shown below. The images were generated using millenium Sting software, and with the use of  Gif Construction Set  the animated effects were achieved. Fig. 1 below shows an animated model of papain. The active site is colored green, while the charges of the residues are shown in red(acidic)and blue(basic).

In fig. 2, below the model of papain (strand) was first created in Rasmol, then animated features were added on using Gif Construction set.

Fig. 3 below shows color rotation (animation) of the papain model . This was achieved using Printshop Pro Software.
