AINAAN is a collaborative application developed for molecular visualization and analysis with multiple view points. The application allows multiple users to view and manipulate single and multiple representations of molecular structures. Network sessions can be initiated by any user over the network. Members over the network can join the session, and the initiator owns the activities of the session. The application provides conventional molecular visualization facilities like rendering, rotation, with different views, along with the usage of protein network stores. Protein store is the repository of the protein structures, alignment results, and movies maintained by each user, which can be shared over the network. Sequence and structural analysis algorithms are also supported in AINAAN. Sessions can be saved by recording events and alignment results for future reference. Large scale study of protein molecular structures will need network views support for comparative analysis.
