Following the CCL discussion on Java 3D molecular viewers,
we would like to announce the release of a new Java-based
molecular interaction visualization  and analysis software,
MolSurfer, available from our webserver and to download
(see:
http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/ExternalInfo/wade/pub/soft/molsurfer.html).

This software is a graphical tool for studying protein-protein
interfaces. It links a 2D projection of a protein-protein
interface to a 3D view of the protein structures.
This Java-based software uses the representation of the protein-
protein interface generated by ADSI, the interface-mapping
module of ADS (analytically defined surfaces) software [1],
and WebMol, a Java-based PDB viewer [2].
It is described in this month's issue of TIBS [3].                                                                    

Please try out MolSurfer. All feedback appreciated.
