Protein Structure drawing on graph paper

Question

[anasjamshed]

I have drawn protein structure(C, H, O, N) on graph paper by using x and y coordinates but now I stuck on the line joining. How can I join different atoms which I plot on the graph? How can I Identify the molecule?

I don't mean to dissuade you, but why do this at all? Also, this really has nothing to do with bioinformatics.

its structural bioinformatics

Most people who start the posts need help. Your post is not clear: why would you want to plot a 3D information on a 2D graph paper? What is it that you are trying to achieve? I don't see much value or clarity in doing that, but maybe you have a good reason.

i want to be more clear about protein structure

With all due respect, trying to sketch out a protein on graphing paper is not really going to help you become more acquainted with protein structures. Why not just play around with the structure on PyMOL?

Protein structures are 3-dimensional. Plotting them the way you are trying will give you a bunch of intersecting lines that will not make much sense.
