CMView is a free and open source, small, easy to use contact map visualization and analysis tool.
CMView can also be used for:
· Assessing similarites and differences between structure or contact predictions
· Studying interaction patterns between secondary structure elements
· Visualization of conformational changes in 3D and contact map space
CMView is written in the Java programming language.
Here are some key features of "CMView":
· Combined contact map and 3D structure view (using PyMol)
· Various im- and export options: PDB files, Online PDB, Image export, CASP prediction format and others
· Calculation of contact maps with user-defined contact definitions
· Integration with PyMol for feature-rich 3D molecular visualization
· Structure and contact map comparison using built-in sequence or structural alignments
· Distance map, difference map, contact density analysis
Requirements:
· Java 1.5 or later
