To allow a convenient three‐dimensional visualization of protein features and particularly of binding sites van der Waals contour levels are produced on large‐scale stereopairs (about 0.3 to 1.0 cm Å ‐1 ). A chain of Fortran programs has been written and give screen or paper graphic outputs. The large‐scale stereopairs can be easily viewed with only two ordinary mirrors.
