BRAGI is the tool for the special purpose of interactive modeling unknown proteins from the structure of a known one. The current version has a number of features we think necessary and helpful for planning site-directed mutagenesis or designing proteins with new properties. The program package is written in such a way that it can be used almost instantly by the average scientist who is not a computer specialist. BRAGI is fully menu driven, using many well known features of OSF-MOTIF, a window like user interface. 3-D representation includes features like wireframe display of structures, chicken wire surface colored by electrostatics, ball and stick display, solids to show secondary structure and generation of ray traced images.
