    What is Prototype Protein Viewer?
    Prototype Protein Viewer (PPV) is an application that allows interactive viewing of linked two-dimensional and three-dimensional representations of biomolecular structures. This application takes advantage of the graphics capabilities of typical personal computers, features that were previously found only on high-end workstations. PPV can load simple Protein Data Bank (PDB) files for interactive viewing of a static structure, and it can import "trajectory" files containing many time steps of a molecular simulation.

    How does it work?
    Prototype Protein Viewer performs highly interactive exploration of biomolecular structures using commodity graphics hardware. PPV emphasizes linked two- and three-dimensional views of the same structure that, together, provide insight that would not be apparent one view at a time. This application also serves as an alternative to movie clips of molecular dynamics trajectories, which are often presented as simple animations that do not allow rotation and zooming during playback. PPV is able to play trajectories with full user interaction on a typical PC or laptop, resulting in greater understanding of the molecular system as it evolves. PPV's three-dimensional graphics are entirely written in DirectX, both as an experiment in this API and as a single application layer for accessing graphics features on modern graphics cards for games.

Dear Gentleman, metalife knowledgebase offers the user a ?single entry point? for research and analysis of available decentralized allocated data. metalife knowledgebase also increasingly integrates data that have been generated by means of own newly developed tools. for instance, by means of the text extraction tools and based on the metalife tmp (tmp = text minding process), data can be derived immediately from scientific publications and used for supplementation of annotations to protein entries or addition of new classes of information to the metalife knowledgebase. the metalife knowledgebase is based on standard components ( pc, sql server 2000). it contains the majority of public accessible molecular biological data as well as indices to the primary data collections, serves as a central in-/output memory for the metalife tools and applications, saves information and knowledge references that are created by highly developed metalife technologies, allows the easy integration of proprietary data and applications, compatible with internet technology. the metalife knowledgebase forms the fundament of our progressive bio-informatics package. best regards your Metateam
