Here is a simple demo demonstrating the power of the HTML 5 canvas element and the ChemDoodle Web Components library. The Protein Data Bank is queried via a server side script while the native and customizable ChemDoodle Web Components display structures.
A few notes
- An article discussing this demo has been published at MacResearch.
- The easiest way to obtain PDB files is with their corresponding 4 character identifier. Try 3E7Y, 3FQ9, 4TRA, 2EFA.
- PDB files are very, very large; don't be surprised by long loads! It is recommended that only smaller structures are loaded for this reason.
- The best way to view these complex 3D structures is with 3D graphics. Canvas will soon support OpenGL natively! We will implement this as soon as it is generally available.
