Go to workshops.molviz.org Find today’s workshop and click on Syllabus Today’s syllabus will remain online indefinitely. In our Syllabus, do steps 1-4:
Introductions • Name • Whose lab you work in • UMass Department/Elsewhere? • Research interest (very brief)
Structural Biologists • X-ray crystallography • NMR spectroscopy • High-resolution electron microscopy • Theoretical modeling
Terminology Visualization: Exploring an existing molecular model. Modeling: Creating a new molecular model or changing the conformation or composition of an existing model.
Visualization software you have used • PyMOL? • Chimera? • Jmol? • Something else? • RasMol? • Chime? • Protein Explorer? Obsolete
FirstGlance in Jmol ≠ Jmol! • Jmol (jmol.org) is a large international open-source project active since before 2000. • Lead developer since 2006 is Robert Hanson (St. Olaf Collete, Northfield MN). • Jmol is no easier to use than PyMOL, etc. • FirstGlance in Jmol (firstglance.jmol.org) is a user interface that makes Jmol’s power accessible to a wide range of users. • First available in 2006, it is developed by Eric Martz, following his experience with Protein Explorer. It is used in 3D View links in Nature Structure.
