Description
-----------

In the age of Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering 
you have a chance to see and interactively analyze 3D structure 
of such complex Biological Macromolecules as Proteins and DNA 
in 3D STEREO mode on your computer, which you have just now. 

Using The Stereoscopic Visual Analyzer of Biological Macromolecules 
(VisProt3DS) you can look at Proteins and DNA (in PDB format) 
by the simplest and the cheapest stereo technology - Anaglyph stereo. 
VisProt3DS Anaglyph stereo mode can work on any usual computer 
(under the Windows) with color display, even on the NetBook 
with the weak built-in video card. (Of course, if you have powerful 
video card, it will be better). The only things, that you need 
in additional to your computer with color display, which you have just now, 
are our VisProt3DS ($299) and Anaglyph stereo glasses 
(red-blue color stereo glasses, $1). You can work with these glasses 
in color stereoscopic mode during many hours. These glasses cause 
the minimum weariness of eyes unlike other methods of stereo visualization. 
Even if you have relatively weak computer with very weak video-card, 
using VisProt3DS you can see 3D Stereo image at least of a part 
of large complex protein molecule by VisProt3DS Cube mode 
(Please see the Help of trial version of program). 
Some people can see stereo image of macromolecules without special glasses 
using Side by Side (wall-eyed) separated stereo VisProt3DS mode at least 
in a small window or by Cross-eyed view VisProt3DS mode in the full screen. 
But it is impossible to use these methods during many hours. 
You can use VisProt3DS to look and interactively analyze 3D structure of 
Proteins and DNA in 3D STEREO mode for the scientific goals, 
education purposes, with curiosity or simply for a fun.
