'''Sirius''' is a [[molecular modelling]] and analysis system developed at [[San Diego Supercomputer Center]]. Sirius is designed to support advanced user requirements that go beyond simple display of small [[molecule]]s and [[protein]]s. Sirius supports high quality interactive [[3D graphics]], structure building, displaying [[protein]] or [[DNA]] [[primary sequence]]s, access to remote data sources, and visualizing [[molecular dynamics]] trajectories. It can be used for [[scientific visualization]] and analysis, and [[chemistry]] and [[biology]] instruction.
 
This software is no longer supported as of 2011.
 
== Key features ==
Line 21 ⟶ 24:
* Command line interpreter and scripting support fully compatible with extant [[RasMol]] scripts
* Full support for [[molecular dynamics]] trajectory visualizing
* [[BLAST (biotechnology)|BLAST]] search directly in [[Protein Data Bank]] and [[Uniprot]] databases
* Ability to move parts of the loaded data while freezing the rest
* Interactive calculation of [[hydrogen bond]]ing, steric clashes, [[Ramachandran plot]]s
Line 28 ⟶ 31:
* Integrated selection and coloring across individual visualizing components
 
Sirius is based on molecular graphics code and data structures developed as a part of the Molecular Biology Toolkit.<ref>[http://mbt.sdsc.edu Molecular Biology Toolkit] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.istoday/20121214224327/http://mbt.sdsc.edu/ |date=2012-12-14 }}</ref>
