Summary: VISTRAJ is an application which allows 3D visualization, manipulation and editing of protein conformational space using probabilistic maps of this space called trajectory distributions. Trajectory distributions serve as input to FOLDTRAJ which samples protein structures based on the represented conformational space. VISTRAJ also allows FOLDTRAJ to be used as a tool for homology model creation, and structures may be generated containing post-translationally modified amino acids.
