What is DRuMS?
DRuMS refers to a set of standard color schemes for macromolecular visualization, released in 2000. The official DRuMS website is www.umass.edu/molvis/drums. DRuMS color schemes are derived in part from those used in the popular molecular visualization programs RasMol, and are used in Chime, Protein Explorer, and Biochemistry in 3D, the latter being a set of online 3D structure tutorials that accompanied Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 3rd Ed.. The name DRuMS represents the names of its authors: Timothy Driscoll, Frieda Reichsman, Eric Martz, and Roger A. Sayle (author of RasMol).
The DRuMS Color Schemes
The DRuMS color schemes are detailed at the official DRuMS website, but are summarized below to show how corresponding color keys can be inserted into the text of Proteopedia pages using templates.
How To Use A Template
For example, to include the Composition color key for Protein, DNA, and Ligand in your page (omitting the colors for RNA and Solvent, which we'll assume are not shown in the accompanying molecular view), use this wiki text:
{{Template:ColorKey Composition Protein}}
Composition
This color scheme has five colors:
Protein, DNA, RNA, Ligand, Solvent.
Proteopedia's Scene Authoring Tool includes, in the dialog under the colors tab, a button that colors the currently selected atoms with this color scheme.
