Web-based molecular graphics for large complexes

Published: 22 July 2016 Publication History

Abstract

The interactive visualization of very large macromolecular complexes on the web is becoming a challenging problem as experimental techniques advance at an unprecedented rate and deliver structures of increasing size. We have tackled this problem by introducing the binary and compressed Macromolecular Transmission Format (MMTF) to reduce network transfer and parsing time, and by developing NGL, a highly memory-efficient and scalable WebGL-based viewer. MMTF offers over 75% compression over the standard mmCIF format, is over an order of magnitude faster to parse, and contains additional information (e.g., bond information). NGL renders molecular complexes with millions of atoms interactively on desktop computers and smartphones alike, making it a tool of choice for web-based molecular visualization in research and education.
