A utility program called MolAuto is included in the MolScript software distribution. It reads a standard-format PDB coordinate file to produce a first-approximation script file for MolScript. This is a simple way to produce a starting point for further manual editing.
The MolAuto and MolScript programs have been designed to work well as software tools in the UNIX environment. This allows the programs to be embedded in more comprehensive software systems for automated creation and/or storage of images. An example of such a system is the web interface to the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB, http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/ ), which employs MolScript (among other tools) for visualization of the coordinate data sets.
