I have been using MIME and rasmol to illustrate the lac repressor-operator
interactiions. The aim of the exercise was to illustrate to anyone who was
interested the interactions that take place in this protein-DNA complex and
how specificity of binding was achieved. Instructions on how to see these
different interactions (charged, hydrophobic) are enclosed on the page This
illsutration can be found on
http://www.strath.ac.uk/Departments/BioSci/PPS/LacRepressorInteractions.html.

Presumably other people have done something similar for their own systems.
Is this a good reason for making a central index of such displays and, the
knotty question, if yes then who will do it?
