PROTEIN SCIENCE KINEMAGES
 
A 'kinemage' [kinetic image] is a scientific illustration presented as an interactive computer display.
Operations on the displayed kinemage respond within a fraction of a second: the entire image can be
rotated in real time, parts of the display can be turned on or off, any point can be identified by
picking it, and the change between different forms can be aninmated.

Kinemages are created from Brookhaven Protein Data Bank files using the program PREKIN. The
program MAGE is used to view them.

Kinemages are proposed as a subtype of the chemical MIME standard with the specification
"chemical/x-kinemage" and file extension "kin".
