Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.

Seifert, Kathryn and Rawlings, Christopher (1988): Gripe: A Graphical Interface to a Knowledge Based System which Reasons about Protein Topology. In: Jones, Dylan M. and Winder, R. (eds.) Proceedings of the Fourth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers IV August 5-9, 1988, University of Manchester, UK. pp. 391-406.

GRIPE is an interactive graphical interface to a knowledge based system which reasons about the topological structure of proteins. The knowledge based system, TOPOL, derives symbolic, declarative representations of protein topology from the underlying three-dimensional coordinates of protein structural elements. The use of the topological representation rather than the complex three-dimensional displays provided by most molecular graphics systems is intended to make it easier for a biologist (or a computer program) to perceive certain kinds of structure and symmetry in proteins, thus easing analysis and comparison. In particular, the topological representation is useful for the detection of topological motifs, which are common folding patterns taken by the proteins. GRIPE was developed to facilitate the use of TOPOL by molecular biologists as it allows the user to construct graphical queries about the presence of linear and topological structures in selected proteins. GRIPE also provides facilities for viewing the three dimensional and topological structures of the proteins. The interface provides an easy and effective way to examine protein structure.
