DNA Nanotube

Interactive Graph combined with UnityMol CG

Combining UnityMol WebGL viewer with other tools such as D3.js helps to design new ways to explore the data. It is now possible to create interactive figures. An example is shown here for a DNA nanotube-membrane complex. Here you can pass the mouse on top of each point to display nanotube with respect to membrane at specific time step.

You have to wait a bit to see the first scene depicting the DNA nanotube model (in green) with its hydrophobic decorations (red) inserted in a POPC bilayer (in blue). When you pass the mouse on top of a point a little blue box appears. In this box itself, you can then click on the time to change the scene and display the position of the DNA nanotube in the membrane. Please wait a bit as the scene is quite big and can create some delay to display.

More information about this model can be found in the recent article published in Nature Communications. We would like to thank Vishal Maingi for providing the data.
