Abstract

In this paper, we design and implement a visual analytics system to visualize dynamic protein structure and amino acid network. Specifically, we propose a mixed layout method based on Force-Directed Algorithm and Circular Layout Model to visualize protein structure. We design a dynamic visualization framework of the amino acid network with multiple coordinated views. We implement a prototype system and present case studies based on the molecular simulation data of the β2-Adrenergic receptor (β2AR, a protein) to demonstrate the usefulness and effectiveness of our system.
