PMG -- Protein Movie Generator
What you can do:
An online service able to generate high-quality pictures and animations to define simple storyboards.
Highlights:
- The PMG can efficiently illustrate concepts such as molecular motion or formation/dissociation of complexes.
- Emphasis is put on the simplicity of animation generation.
- Rendering is achieved using Dino coupled to POV-Ray.
- In order to produce highly informative images, the PMG includes capabilities of using different molecular representations at the same time to highlight particular molecular features.
- Moreover, sophisticated rendering concepts including scene definition, as well as modeling light and materials are available.
- The PMG accepts Protein Data Bank (PDB) files as input, which may include series of models or molecular dynamics trajectories and produces images or movies under various formats.
