Visualization of anisotropic contact potentials within protein structures

The Contact Geometry Analysis Plugin (CGAP) (for CMView) allows incorporation of geometric orientation propensities into the process of interactive protein modeling and can be used for the generation of improved energy functions. It further supports the analysis of model quality, as it directly illustrates model consistency with known spatial propensities which, in turn, enables users to detect possible structural errors.

CGAP was developed as Plugin for CMView.
