Grafta: a 3D environment for biomolecular networks.
The importance of a comprehensive environment for the depiction of biomolecular networks in the domain of system biology has been emphasised after the completion of genomic, proteomic and metabolomic initatives. Grafta is a software application developed for the three dimensional illustration of biomolecular interactions such as protein interaction networks. Grafta allows its user to move in a 3D environment through a complex assembly of biomolecules represented by 3D objects such as spheres. Their interactions are displayed by an array of 3D tubes. One novelty in Grafta is its anthropomorphic navigation of the viewpoint with respect to the displayed biomolecular network.
