Protein Data Bank Graphics Generator on Grid

Experimental data acquired from NMR, X-ray diffraction and other experimental methods are usually stored into formatted files called PDB files that can be found at [1]. Searching through PDB files and extracting or visually representing the results, usually requires a lot of programming or using a variety of software. To make these tasks easier we created the relational model of a database, and our web interface, which enables the user to send queries to database, retrieve the results, export them into ASCII text format or POV-Ray format and send them to a computer grid for rendering the animation. For the needs of software development we used 143 PDB files, a PostgreSQL database, and Perl scripts for importing the data from PDB files, a PHP interface with JavaScripts and a computer grid for animation rendering. The result is represented textually or in POV-Ray format with three drawing methods and five color schemes available and rendered. Application can be found at this address: [10].
