1. Lets Create A Domain-Specific Language for Molecular Interaction Analysis!
What is a Domain-Specific Language? It is more common than you think. Few of us – computational chemists – have heard the term Domain-Specific Language (DSL for short), even though this is somewhat ubiquitous in our workflow, especially when dealing with molecule visualisation. Don’t you believe me? Check out the command you type on VMD, PyMOL, YASARA, or Chimera. YASARA command: LoadPDB 1crn, download=yes AutoPosOriObj 1, x = 1, y = 10, z = 0, alpha = 0, beta = 0, gamma = 0 ColorRes cys, green ShowRes cys BallStickRes cys AutoRotateObj 1, Y = 1 wait 180 AutoRotateObj 1, Y = 0 ZoomRes Cys 16, step = 50 wait 100 ZoomRes all VMD Tcl/Tk command:...
