Abstract. The concept of "active" molecular models was proposed. The Maya-K-PDB software for the creation of active molecular models in the 3D Maya environment was developed. The Maya-K-PDB provides various opportunities for dynamic visualization and modeling of conformational changes of biological macromolecules. Also many complicated processes on molecular level can be presented. The article describes the Maya-K-PDB user interface and illustrates basic examples of software implementation.
Key words: dynamic visualization, molecular model, kinematics, animation.
