MOLSCRIPT
(Kraulis, 1991![[link]](/graphics/greenarr.gif)
) is a program for creating schematic or detailed molecular-graphics images in the form of PostScript plot files from molecular 3D coordinates, usually, but not exclusively, of protein structures. Possible representations are simple wire models, CPK spheres, ball-and-stick models, text labels and Jane Richardson-type schematic drawings of proteins, based on atomic coordinates in various formats. Colour, greyscale, shading and depth cueing can be applied to the various graphical objects. See Section 25.2.7
for a detailed description.

An enhanced variant of MOLSCRIPT, called BOBSCRIPT, has been developed by Robert Esnouf (http://orval.rega.kuleuven.ac.be/∼robert/Bobscript/ ). In addition to the functions provided by MOLSCRIPT, BOBSCRIPT can generate an input file automatically and allows for the display of electron density.
