Abstract
The MOLSCRIPT program produces plots of protein structures using several different kinds of representations.Schematic drawings, simple wire models, ball-and-stick models, CPK models and text labels can be mixed freely.The schematic drawings are shaded to improve the illusion of three dimensionality.A number of parameters affecting various aspects of the objects drawn can be changed by the user.The output from the program is in PostScript format.
