Abstract
An algorithm is presented for tiling the surface of beta-sheet structu res, smoothed both along the strands and perpendicular to them. The al gorithm is intended for creating graphical representations of beta str ucture within the three-dimensional context of proteins. This article presents sufficient detail to allow a programmer with some knowledge o f protein structure to implement the tiling algorithm. Several example s of its use are illustrated.
