Molecular Surface Maps.

We present Molecular Surface Maps, a novel, view-independent, and concise representation for molecular surfaces. It transfers the well-known world map metaphor to molecular visualization. Our application maps the complex molecular surface to a simple 2D representation through a spherical intermediate, the Molecular Surface Globe.

Visual analysis for space-time aggregation of biomolecular simulations.

Conducting a current through a nanopore allows for the analysis of molecules inside the pore because a current modulation caused by the electrostatic properties of the passing molecules can be measured. This mechanism shows great potential for DNA sequencing, as the four different nucleotide bases induce different current modulations. We present a visualisation approach to investigate this phenomenon in our simulations of DNA within a nanopore by combining state-of-the-art molecular visualisation with vector field illustration.
