Abstract:
A minicomputer based system for the determination and schematic representation of protein surfaces is described. The algorithms are based on the atomic coordinates of globular protein molecules of the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank. Using a cartographic projection a normalized graphic representation is obtained of the amino acid residues located on the surface of the considered protein. The programs are written in FORTRAN IV (surface determination) and BASIC (graphic representation).
