MidasPlus® is a molecular modeling and drug design support system. Atomic coordinate data is used to create line and surface displays of several interacting molecules while qualitatively monitoring stereochemistry. Users manipulate the resulting image by a "virtual trackball" interaction technique to provide concise control of viewing angles and positions. It is possible to view any subsegments of a model in isolation for clarification. Images can be wireframe structures with depth cueing, dot cloud solvent accessible and van der Waals surfaces, and shaded color surfaces (appropriate for publication purpose) using either Corey-Pauling-Koltun representations or "ribbon" drawing for depicting secondary protein structure.
