Category:Alternate Renderings

From Proteopedia

Alternate Renderings is one of twelve overarching themes in the Biomolecular Visualization (BioMolViz) Framework. The Framework identifies learning goals to assist in developing biomolecular visualization literacy. This work is part of BioMolViz Project.

Overarching theme

Alternate Renderings (AR) ‐ Rendering of a macromolecular structure such as a protein or nucleic acid structure in various ways from the simplest possible way (connections between alpha carbons) to illustration of secondary structure (ribbons) to surface rendering and space filling.

Learning Goals:

AR1. Students can create meaningful molecular images to convey features such as secondary structure, cpk coloring, active sites and molecular interactions.

AR2. Students can produce the best rendering of a macromolecule to use in a given situation.
