# ProtVR
Visualise a Protein in Virtual Reality
## HISTORY:
I manually coded the HTML front-end part of this website, and the Python back-end, from the ground up for fun. This website was established on 20 March 2017 @ 22:06 GMT+3, and it looked like this at the time it was shutdown on 29 August 2024 @ 16:20 GMT+3 after running non-stop for 7 and a half years.
## DESCRIPTION:
This script does the following converts a PDB (Protein Data Bank) file into a HTML code that can be used to visualise the protein in VR (Virtual Reality).
This script was written to run on GNU/Linux using python 3, it was not tested in Windows or MacOS.
Contact the author at sari.sabban@gmail.com for any questions regarding this script.
## HOW TO USE:
To use follow these steps:
1. To download the protein file from the RCSB (rcsb.org) website and run the script type this command:
`./ProtVR.py -d FILENAME.pdb `
2. If the protein file is already available in your computer:
* Place this script and the protein's file (.pdb) in the same folder.
* In the terminal, navigate to the folder.
* Run the script type this command: `./ProtVR.py FILENAME.pdb `
3. View your HTML script in http://codepen.io/mozvr/pen/BjygdO
