DRuMS: Difference between revisions

DRuMS refers to a set of standard color schemes for macromolecular visualization, released in 2000. The official DRuMS website is [http://www.umass.edu/molvis/drums/ www.umass.edu/molvis/drums]. DRuMS color schemes are derived in part from those used in the popular molecular visualization programs RasMol, and are used in Chime, [http://proteinexplorer.org Protein Explorer], the [http://bioinformatics.org/jmol-tutorials Jmol Tutorial-Authoring Template], and [http://www.worthpublishers.com/lehninger3d Biochemistry in 3D], the latter being a set of online 3D structure tutorials that accompanied ''Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 3rd Ed.''. The name ''DRuMS'' represents the names of its authors: [http://www.molvisions.com Timothy '''D'''riscoll], [http://moleculesinmotion.com Frieda '''R'''eichsman], [http://martz.molviz.org Eric '''M'''artz], and Roger A. '''S'''ayle (author of RasMol).

If you enclose the wiki text in <nowiki><big>...</big></nowiki> tags, it will look like this:

<big>{{Template:ColorKey Composition Protein}}, {{Template:ColorKey Composition DNA}}, {{Template:ColorKey Composition Ligand}}.</big>

Several portions not implemented concern nucleotides:

{{Template:ColorKey Purines}},

{{Template:ColorKey Pyrimidines}},

{{Template:ColorKey Bases Nucleotides}},

{{Template:ColorKey Bases DNA}},

{{Template:ColorKey Bases RNA}}.

<applet load='Image:Kt7.pdb.gz' size='150' frame='true' align='left' scene='User:Wayne_Decatur/kink-turn_motif/Kt7_halo/1' />A template exists for a related button that can be incorporated into Proteopedia pages and behaves similar to green scene link; when the button is pressed it results in coloring of the nucleotides according to the bases. Example:

{{Template:Button Toggle NucleicDrumsColorScheme}}
