In order to facilitate structural analysis, VeaR has features like:
- automated retrieval of crystallographic data by PDB id,
- loading a PDB file from the local filesystem or local network,
- chain selection in case of multidomain proteins,
- basic structure integrity verification, automated disulfide bonds recognition,
- calculation of φ and ψ torsional angles and plotting Ramachandran map
(with the ellipse-path limited conformational sub-space marked),
- calculation of V and ln(R) parameters and plotting them (with empirical
parabolic function marked),
- plotting V , ln(R), deviation of measured and theoretical
values of V and ln(R) versus parabolic curve and absolute value
of the last - along the chain,
- highlighting abovementioned parameters - on the 3D backbone representation,
various color schemes,
- full-screen rendering,
- built-in support for dumping screenshots (iff launched on a linux machine)
