Lecture 3.41 Structure Tools and Visualization † Gary Van Domselaar University of Alberta † Slides Adapted from Michel Dumontier, Blueprint Initiative
Lecture 3.42 Visualization & Communication Visualization tools allow us to see 3D structure data communicate features about 3-D structures to colleagues illustrate biological processes (catalytic/binding) educate laypersons about structural biology Go beyond Rasmol & communicate other structural features surface shape –show the surface, transparent over a backbone hydrophobicity / charge –show the binding surfaces or charge complementarity mutations –making a simple model (e.g. 1 amino acid change)
Lecture 3.43 In this lecture we introduce Rasmol and CHIME –Good introductory packages for biomolecule visualization Cn3D for Structure Annotation –Good all around viewer that uses OpenGL graphics –Good annotation engine for exchanging information about 3D structure Swiss PDB Viewer (Deep View) –Make molecular surfaces –Align multiple proteins –Apply scoring functions –Simple, fast modeling including site-directed mutagenesis –Complex modeling including loop rebuilding PyMOL –Python based, can be used for scripting
Lecture 3.44 Rasmol & CHIME Developed by Roger Sayle Open source, binaries available – Widely used, simple to use (menus) for simple operations Complex operations require command-line interface
Lecture 3.45 Rasmol Developed by Roger Sayle Open source, binaries available – Widely used, simple to use (menus) for simple operations Complex operations require command-line interface
Lecture 3.46 Getting Rasmol Structure Files Uses PDB files:
Lecture 3.47 Working With the PDB File “select cys115.cb” “select lys116”
Lecture 3.48 Hen egg-white lysozyme and tri-N-acetylchitotriose
Lecture 3.49 Rasmol Help Quick Reference Card: – Rasmol Manual – Tutorials: – Gallery: –
Lecture CHIME CHIME: “Chemical mIME” A free molecular viewer web browser plugin based on Rasmol Developed by MDL Information Systems Inc: – Improves on Rasmol: –More commands –Hypertext button-controlled scripting –Animations
Lecture CHIME What you need to run CHIME: –Netscape / Mozilla / Internet Explorer –Windows or Macintosh –A web page designed to use CHIME –A PDB file
Lecture CHIME and Protein Explorer Protein Explorer: A website that works with CHIME to help you visualize your structures
Lecture Cn3D Developed by the NCBI Open source, binaries available Fast OpenGL Graphics Annotation Engine –Lets you mark up a protein at the residue level Can fetch a structure over the Internet Can display protein “movies” –NMR ensembles –Protein folding trajectories
Lecture Getting Cn3D Structure Files Uses MMDB files Entrez ( tightly coupled with MMDB structure databasehttp:// Retrieve using –MMDB identifier –PDB identifer –Conserved Domain Database –BLAST search –PubMed query –Text search
Lecture Hen egg-white lysozyme and tri-N-acetylchitotriose

Lecture Annotation Menu Turn On/Off – Show/Hide selected annotation Move Up/Down – Change priority Show – Show annotation and affected residues Edit – Edit an existing annotation Move – Move the annotation to selected residues Delete – Delete the Annotation
Lecture Shortcuts Rendering: SpaceFill Coloring: Rainbow Rendering: Ball and Stick Coloring: Hydrophobicity
Lecture Another Salient Feature Show/Hide>Select by distance
Lecture Imports Import sequences –BLAST alignments Import structures –Structural Superposition
Lecture BLAST Create alignments between sequences –In this case, an alignment between the structure sequence and the natural sequence reveals missing N and C termini residues and a loop region, not resolved in structure.
Lecture Conserved Domain Alignments
Lecture Folding Simulations

Lecture Swiss PDV Viewer at a Glance PDB structure viewer with structure utilities Superimposition to compare proteins and their components such as active/binding sites Measure angles, distances between atoms Manual or automated (Swiss-Model) homology modeling including loop modeling Threading (Fold recognition) Mutations and Energy minimization Electron density map reading and model building (crystallography data) Interface to POV-Ray rendering software
Lecture Main Interface Tons of menu options reasonably well categorized Button bar for image manipulation (center, zoom, move, rotate) and some structure measurement and mutation tools Layers window to select from multiple layers
Lecture Control Panel Select –Individual Residues (one or more) –All Residues –Chains –Secondary Structure Show –Backbone –Side chains –Labels –Molecular surface (VDW) –Ribbon Cartoons (Helices/Strands) –Colors (specify backbone +/- sidechain, labels, etc)
Lecture Alignment and Ramachandran Plot Alignment Window shows alignment of sequences to one another (structural superposition, threading / homology modelling) Ramachandran plot showing Phi-Psi angles of selected residues. Can move individual residues to new Phi-Psi angles.

Lecture Persistence of Vision (POV) RAY Visualization Ray tracing occurs from the camera to the scene Specify –Camera location –Light sources –Objects –Surface textures –Atmospheric media (fog, haze, or fire)
Lecture POV RAY
Lecture PovRay Molecules... Armand Tepper ‘s Energy minimized Yeast Cu-metallothionein from an averaged NMR structure. 6 copper atoms are in the reddish metal texture and the sulfurs of the coordinating cysteines appear in yellow. This picture features the new smoother ribbon feature (quality 2) implemented in SPDBV3.6b2. The surface is at detail level 3. mandhttp://wwwchem.leidenuniv.nl/metprot/ar mand
