Workshops
- One-day courses in molecular visualization and structural bioinformatics for researchers and educators.
Principal Author or Architect of:
- FirstGlance in Jmol, a general-purpose molecular visualization tool which has been adopted by Nature (see the 3D View links), the ConSurf Server, and other journals and structural bioinformatics servers.
- Visualization for the the ConSurf Server developed by Nir Ben-Tal, Fabian Glaser, Elana Erez and others, which colors amino acids by evolutionary conservation, completely automatically.
- Top Five 3D Molecular Visualization Technologies for the Rest Of Us.
- MolviZ.Org with tutorials in Jmol and molecular visualization resources for educators and students. Included is a DNA Structure Tutorial started in 1996, and now (in collaboration with Angel Herráez) available in 5 languages.
- World Index of Molecular Visualization Resources.
- Atlas of Macromolecules.
- With Jaime Prilusky, the PDB Lite search interface for students and beginners to find published macromolecular models.
- An incomplete History of Macromolecular Visualization which includes a list of the earliest macromolecules solved by X-ray crystallography.
and in an earlier era
- Protein Explorer 1998-present.
- The RasMol Home Page founded 1996.
