MicroMegas

Participant : Samuel Hornus.

Micromegas is a 3D modeler, developed as a plugin of Graphite, dedicated to molecular biology. Micromegas is developped in cooperation with the Fourmentin Guilbert foundation. Biologists need simple spatial modeling tools to help in understanding the role of objects' relative position in the functioning of the cell. In this context, we offer a tool for easy DNA modeling. The tool generates DNA along a Bézier curve, open or closed, allows fine-tuning of atoms' position and, most importantly, exports to PDB.
