New release from OpenEye

We make extensive use of CADD software from OpenEye Scientific Software (www.eyesopen.com) in our drug discovery and design services. OpenEye recently issued a beta release of Vida 2, their graphical interface to their software suite. The final release is due out later this year. A new ribbon display mode is available in Vida 2. Here's a screenshot of p53 (PDB ID = 1TSR) complexed with DNA:

Alpha helices are shown in red, beta sheets in yellow, and loops in grey. This capability will give new insights on protein structure.
