PCAViz

PCAViz compresses and visualizes molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories to enable web-based decompression and interactive rendering for efficient storage, sharing, and analysis of large-scale MD simulations.

Key Features:

• PCAViz Compressor: Compresses MD trajectory data to reduce file size while preserving essential simulation details.
• PCAViz Interpreter: Decompresses compressed trajectory data in web browsers and provides real-time access to decompressed frames.
• Visualization library integration: Interfaces with 3Dmol.js and NGL Viewer to render interactive 3D representations of molecular structures and dynamics.

Scientific Applications:

• Atomic-resolution dynamics analysis: Supports analysis of molecular motions at atomic resolution from MD trajectories.
• Microsecond-scale simulation exploration: Enables exploration and sharing of microsecond-long simulations that capture a wide range of biologically relevant events.
• Structural biology studies: Facilitates investigation of protein folding, ligand binding, and conformational changes using compressed MD data.

Methodology:

The PCAViz Compressor reduces MD trajectory file sizes while preserving essential simulation details; the PCAViz Interpreter performs real-time decompression in the web browser and supplies decompressed frames to molecular visualization libraries such as 3Dmol.js and NGL Viewer.
