MOLSCRIPT: a program to produce both detailed and schematic plots of protein structures

Key Points

• This work introduces MOLSCRIPT, a program designed to create detailed and schematic visualizations of protein structures.
• The program allows users to generate various representations including schematic drawings, wire models, ball-and-stick models, and CPK models.
• Users can customize several parameters that influence the drawing aspects of the output.
• MOLSCRIPT successfully produces combined plots using different types of protein structure representations.
• The program enhances the illusion of depth in schematic drawings through shading techniques.
