Comment on Generating SVG for the prime knotsparent

Comments

I'm reminded of the algorithms used to render planar drawings of proteins, which are similar to knots

Yes, like the PTGL - https://bio.tools/ptgl - or, er, TOPS diagrams. The main relationship to knot diagrams is really the chirality of beta-alpha-beta motifs (the majority of which are right handed).

Thanks! I was searching for this citation to include in my comment: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/protein-science/arti...

(I have no idea how my brain can remember a paper from 20+ years ago but not enough to find it in the literature)
