Historically, kinemages, initially released in 1992<ref>PMID: 1304880</ref>, were the first widely available software capable of rotating macromolecules on personal computers (followed in 1993 by [[RasMol]]). The software was described in the lead article in the first issue of the journal [http://proteinscience.org Protein Science]. For several years thereafter, issues were mailed out accompanied with a floppy disc containing the software and Kinemages illustrating articles in that issue. During the mid-1990's, over a thousand kinemages were created by authors of articles in ''Protein Science'', and by David and Jane Richardson (the developers of Mage, Kinemages, and KiNG). Selected Kinemages remain available from the [http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/kinemage/kinlist.php Richardson's Select Kinemage Files List]. | Historically, kinemages, initially released in 1992<ref>PMID: 1304880</ref>, were the first widely available software capable of rotating macromolecules on personal computers (followed in 1993 by [[RasMol]]).
