STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has introduced Protein Viewer, a new interactive feature on SciVerse ScienceDirect for the Journal of Molecular Biology (JMB). With Protein Viewer, readers of JMB now have the power to expand and rotate molecules within the actual article. SciVerse ScienceDirect merges features of the World Protein Database and Jmol, and embeds them into the article, making its use more convenient and user-friendly. This interactive feature allows the reader to be more active in the article, by allowing them to go more in-depth and be more focused on their area of specific research.
Protein Viewer allows the reader to choose the display scheme, size, angle, colours, surface view, and more. Each individual reader might be looking for a specific portion and presentation of the molecule. This individualisation is now at the fingertips of the reader.
Protein Viewer is one of many innovative features from Elsevier and SciVerse ScienceDirect, designed to make the readers' experience to be the most customised, useful, and relevant. Protein Viewer will be available for more Elsevier journals, such as BBA Proteins and Proteomics and the Journal of Structural Biology. More online innovations are planned for both JMB and other Elsevier journals.
