When you have proceeded the basic steps in the wizard window, the membrane editor starts.
On the right side of the window you can see some tabs: PDB Database, Protein Preview, Membrane Preview, Statistics, Properties.
In the first tab PDB database tree is located. It consists of the pdb files which you can use to create the membrane model tree.
You can find the membrane model tree on the left side of the window. It is divided into three categories: the ionchannels, porins and receptors. In each one of the categories you can add your proteins from the pdb database by drag and drop. Based on the proteins in this tree you can generate your membrane model.
In the Protein Preview tab you can see the protein structure of a protein, which you have selected in the membrane model tree.
In the next tab, the Membrane Preview, you can generate your membrane, which you have created in the membrane model tree.
In the generating process the proteins, pictured as rectangles, are distributed on the membrane by a random function. Besides you are able to move the proteins by dragging on the membrane. When you have finished the generation of your membrane, you can export your model as a pdb file by clicking in the menu on Membrane Model->Generate Membrane Model.
In the Statistic tab you get the distribution of your created categories in your membrane displayed in a circle diagramm.
In the last tab, the Properties tab, you can see some further information about your protein, category or membrane.
