RR Distance Maps creates a distance map, a generalization of a protein contact map in which residue-residue distances are shown with color gradations. The map can show the Cα-Cα distances within an individual protein chain or the averages and standard deviations for multiple related chains (as in the figure). A simple binary coloring like a standard contact map can also be obtained.

Peroxiredoxins are enzymes that help cells cope with stressors such as high levels of reactive oxygen species. The image shows a decameric peroxiredoxin from human red blood cells (Protein Data Bank entry 1qmv), styled as a holiday wreath.
