Now,I have dihedral angle data for a protein. Can litemol visualize it?

It would be possible to write a custom visual for it. However, we already have some code to show dihedrals in Mol* (https://molstar.org) so it should not be too difficult to adapt it to show “custom” data. Would it be feasible for you to use that?

Thank you very much for your answer, I don't know if Mol * can be run on the web side, there is no running instance on its GitHub. Can't litemol realize dihedral angle visualization?

Mol* can be run on any website same as LiteMol. The usege is very similar to that of LiteMol (it's a continuation of LiteMol and NGL projects). This is the angle visualization from it:

In LiteMol, the code would have to written extra.

Thank you very much for your patience. Could Mol * have any examples running on the web (like the example folder in the litemol project)?

Maybe I made a mistake in expression, is it possible to implement this code in my own project when implementing this dihedral angle visualization?

Excuse me, how is the custom visualization dihedral angle in mol * calculated, such as the angle between N-Cα and Cα-C, I calculated it with the help of mathematical surface angle. The results visualized above are not the same as mol *. Thank you in advance.

It's not the same because I did not select N-Ca/Ca-C, but some "random" 4 atoms. I just wanted to show the visuals for the dihedral angle itself.
