Introduction to molecular visualization: Difference between revisions

A set of standard color schemes for macromolecules, called [[DRuMS]], was released in 2000. These color schemes are offered on buttons in Proteopedia's [[Scene Authoring Tools]]. They derive in part from physical ball and stick models (called [[CPK|Corey-Pauling-Kolton or CPK]] models) that [[History of Macromolecular Visualization|pre-dated computer visualization]]. Those early colors for chemical elements were incorporated into early [[Molecular modeling and visualization software|Molecular Visualization Software]] such as [[Kinemages%2C_Mage_and_KiNG|Kinemages]], [[RasMol]], and [[Chime]]. The [[CPK]] colors for chemical elements, and the [[DRuMS]] color schemes were incorporated into the [http://jmol.sourceforge.net/jscolors/ color schemes] built into [[Jmol]], the visualization engine used in Proteopedia.
