OpenAstexViewer 3.0

OpenAstexViewer is a Java molecular graphics program that assists in structure based drug design. It can be used as an Applet in a web page or as a desktop application. The software should run on most operating systems and in most internet browsers. OpenAstexViewer has been used most extensively in Internet Explorer v5+ running on Microsoft Windows. The software is known to run as an Applet within the Safari browser on Mac OS X.

    * AstexViewer™ was originally developed by Mike Hartshorn at Astex Therapeutics between 1999 and 2007.
    * The software was shaped by the input of many people from the structural biology and computational chemistry groups at Astex Therapeutics.
          o Version 1 was made available via the Astex Therapeutics web site and published in JCAMD from 2002.
          o Version 2 was made available via the website from 2004. 
    * OpenAstexViewer was made available with support from Astex Therapeutics, GlaxoSmithKline and dotmatics Limited. 

OpenAstexViewer 3.0 is a major upgrade of the software first described in the original publication (M.J.Hartshorn, JCAMD, 16, 871 (2002)). New functionality includes

    * Sphere, cylinder and stick display styles for molecules.
    * Versatile labelling and distance monitors.
    * Shaded molecular surfaces, with transparency and property mapping.
    * Protein schematics and secondary structure assignment.
    * High quality image production to arbitrary resolution, with antialiasing and shadows.

The following pages show examples of the use of OpenAstexViewer for displaying protein/ligand complexes.

    * An applet using the internal Java graphical user interface.
    * An applet using HTML and Javascript controls.
    * An example that displays multiple structures.
