Description In this article, we describe the CAVER Viewer as the next tile in the mosaic of protein visualization programs. CAVER Viewer provides enhanced interface for channel analysis and a set of traditional and new techniques for visualization of the results. With the CAVER Viewer, users can explore specific paths in protein structure, which are called channels. Channels may be explored in the three-dimensional space of the molecule using the two-dimensional information and statistics, visualized as 2D graphs and connected with the 3D displaying window. In comparison to the existing applications, our program also enables working with large data sets obtained from dynamic simulations of protein behavior.
