SPOCK

  • a full-featured molecular graphics program that includes several bond and atom rendering types and a complete array of backbone "worm" representations. SPOCK can also calculate and display molecular and accessible surfaces, and color code these surfaces by properties (such as electrostatic potential). Developed by Jon A. Christopher while in the lab of Thomas O. Baldwin of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Texas A&M University.
