Illustrations
The following screenshots were rendered by CAVER Analyst, using our own plugin for the computation and visualization of molecular surfaces and cavities. Their computation is based on the additively weighted Voronoi diagram of atoms. Rendering uses GPU raycasting and geometry instancing.
Molecular surface colored by temperature factors, PDB ID: 2AFG
Small probe size
Medium probe size
Large probe size
Molecular surface of a ribosomal sub-unit, PDB ID: 70S_RF2
Inaccessible cavities, PDB ID: 1FUJ
