UCSF MidasPlus

version
2.0

abstract
MidasPlus is an advanced molecular modeling system developed by the
Computer Graphics Laboratory (CGL) at the University of California, San
Francisco. The system is used daily in university-level research programs
in order to display and manipulate macromolecules such as proteins and
nucleic acids. Ancillary programs allow for such features as computation of
molecular surfaces and electrostatic potentials and generation of publication
quality space filling images with multiple light sources and shadows.

comments
It should also be possible to compile and run MidasPlus on any UNIX
workstation that has Motif 1.2 and OpenGL, although if the workstation does
not have 3D graphics hardware support performance is likely to be marginal.
