| Abstract: |
Haptic-based interfaces are used to enhance study of molecular systems interactions. We developed a visual haptic-enabled system prototype for molecular docking that allows real-time interactive visualization of two molecular systems and mole-cules manipulation with force feedback. In our system, we implemented haptic interface to facilitate an exploration and analysis of molecular visualization and molecular docking. First, haptic device enables the user "to feel" van der Waal field with a probe. Second, the user could manipulate of two molecules and "feel" their interaction during the docking process in virtual experiment on the computer. In future, such techniques could help the user to understand molecular interactions and to evaluate the design of pharmaceutical drugs. |
