(Look at all the figures)The Ribbons software interactively displays molecular models, analyzes crystallographic results, and creates publication quality images.
The `ribbon drawing' popularized by Richardson(1) is featured. Space-filling and ball-and-stick representations, dot and triangular surfaces, density map contours, and text are also supported. Atomic coordinates in Protein Data Bank(2) (PDB) format are input.
Output may be produced in the Inventor/VRML format. The VRML (virtual reality modeling language) has become the standard for 3-dimensional interaction on the World Wide Web. The on-line manual is presented in HTML (hyper-text markup language) suitable for viewing with a standard Web browser.
