Software report demonstrates an open-source sketching tool for structural biologists, highlighting simplified generation of publication-quality protein topology cartoons.

Key Points

To provide structural biologists with a dedicated, user-friendly drawing tool to create standardized two-dimensional protein topology cartoons.
Developed a specialized drawing application built using the Tcl/Tk scripting language and graphical toolkit.
Tailored the sketching interface to render standard two-dimensional representations of one-dimensional sequences and three-dimensional structural data.
Implemented TopDraw to generate publication-quality topology cartoons matching standard structural biology conventions.
Released the software freely to the scientific community under the GNU General Public License.
