VRmol
VRmol visualizes and integrates macromolecular and biomolecular structures with genomic variations and drug information in a web-based immersive virtual reality environment to support structure-based analysis.
Key Features:
- Virtual Reality Environment: Immersive 3D visualization of molecular structures within a virtual reality interface for spatial exploration of macromolecules.
- Integration with Online Databases: Coupling of structural data with genomic variations and drug information via links to multiple online databases.
- Cloud-Based Drug Docking: Cloud-based drug docking functionality to simulate and visualize potential interactions between molecules and compounds.
Scientific Applications:
- Structure-Based Translational Research: Linking molecular structures with genomic and pharmacological data to support translational studies from structure to therapy.
- Drug Design: Simulation and visualization of compound–target interactions to aid design and optimization of therapeutic molecules.
Methodology:
Immersive 3D visualization in virtual reality, integration with online databases to link structures with genomic variations and drug information, and cloud-based drug docking to simulate and visualize molecular interactions.
