This is a brief description of a new program for drawing protein interactions in three-dimensional space. Our program divides
nodes into three groups: biconnected subgraph in the center, terminal nodes at the outermost region, and the rest in between
them. Experimental results show that the program efficiently generates a clear and aesthetically pleasing drawing of large-scale
protein interaction networks and that it is an order of magnitude faster than other force-directed layouts.
