Cn3D 2.5 Enhances Editing and Display
Version 2.5 of the Cn3D sequence/structure viewer is now ready for downloading through the NCBI Structure site. Cn3D works as a helper-application for Entrez, providing 3-D visualization and comparison of macromolecular structures, and is available for PCs, MACs, and most Unix platforms. Cn3D 2.5 offers several enhancements over previous versions:
- Features consisting of selected residues may be defined, annotated, and given unique display styles.
- Cn3D renderings, complete with feature definitions and aligned structures, can be saved as a single file for later retrieval.
- The PC version can be installed as a helper-application for Netscape or Internet Explorer with a single click of the mouse.
- The controls for the show/hide and display-style settings are now presented within easy-to-use control panels.
