COMPUTER GRAPHICS LABORATORY

The Computer Graphics Laboratory (www.cgl.ucsf.edu) is a NIH/NCRR National Resource Center that provides access to state-of-the-art computer hardware and software for solving molecular recognition problems in a wide range of applications, including drug design, protein engineering, biomaterials design, and bioremediation. Equipment includes a high-performance departmental server used for storage and searches of sequence and structure databases and for performing theoretical studies on protein and nucleic acid structure and function. High-performance workstations are used for generating three-dimensional interactive molecular models. All systems are interconnected via a high-speed network and are capable of distributed computations. Color hard copy (slides and prints) and high-quality video are used for disseminating results.
