Molecular Biology Toolkit (MBT)http//mbt.sdsc.ed
u

• A Java toolkit for molecular visualization

John Moreland Apostol Gramda
2
What is MBT?

• Java toolkit for developing custom molecular
  visualization applications
• High-qualityinteractive3D rendering
• and more

3
MBT Functionality

• Provides
• Data loading
• Local files (PDB, mmCIF, Fasta, etc)
• Compressed files (zip, gzip)
• Remote (http, ftp, OpenMMS?, EJB?)
• Efficient data access
• Raw data
• Derived data (StructureMap)
• Vizualization (plug-in viewers)

4
MBT Architecture
5
Loading data

• Local PDB file
• Structure s StructureFactory.load( new File(
  data/1STN.pdb ) )
• Remote compressed mmCIF URL
• Structure s StructureFactory.load( new URL(
  http//mbt.sdsc.edu/data/5ebx.cif.gz ) )
• PDB ID Code
• Structure s StructureFactory.load( 4hhb )

6
Accessing raw data

• Raw data access
• Int atomCount s.getStructureComponentCount(Stur
  ctureComponentRegistry.TYPE_ATOM )
• Atom atom new Atom( )
• for ( int i0 iltatomCount i )
• s.getStructureComponentByIndex( i, atom )
• System.out.println( atom.coordinate0 )

7
Accessing derived data

• StructureMap Provides Derived Data Relationships
• Primary Structure
• Atom -gt Residue -gt Chain -gt etc
• Secondary Structure
• From source data
• Computed (eg Kabsh Sander)
• Bonds

8
MBT StructureDocument

• A StructureDocument contains Structures and
  viewable style attributes
• Viewers view StructureDocument content

9
MBT Viewers

• StructureViewer
• 3D primary and secondary structure display
• Sequence Viewer
• Residue display
• TreeViewer
• Hierarchical display
• Others?

10
StructureViewer

• Primary Structure
• Balls Sticks, CPK spheres, Bonds
• Secondary Structure
• Helix, Turn, Strand, Coil
• Backbone traces

11
3D Geometry Engine

• General / Re-usable components
• Extrusion class supporting arbitrary
  cross-sections with twist and scale along
  path
• Cached/shared sphere geometry
• Cached/shared color attributes
• Consistent shape interconnections
• Path continuity
• Smooth shape-to-shape transitions

12
MBT Demos

• LocalFile_4hhb.bat
• LocalFile_5ebx.bat
• RemoteGzipUrl_5ebx.bat
• Examples
• Filters
• StructureMapping
• Styles

13
MBT Status

• Working on
• Derived Secondary Structures
• Ligand map/display
• Style/authoring classes
• Needs work
• Sequence viewer
• PDB Loader
• Event processing

14
MBT Futures

• RNA/DNA chain display
• Labeling (authored, automatic)
• Surfaces (computed, imported?)
• LOTS of GUI classes!
• Scripting Engine
• XML StructureDocument import/export
