[Project PE w/ spinning molecule until slides]
SUBJECT: How to visualize 3D protein structure easily
with Protein Explorer.
protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid, protein-ligand
PURPOSE of Protein Explorer:
Make 3D struct widely accessible
-- concentrate on the protein,
not how to use the software.
Yet powerful at largely qualitative level.
METHOD:
Browser based, using MDL Chime -- free but not open source.
-- Pros/Cons (Better open source)
-- Not a long term solution
-- But could improve access much more quickly w/ Chime
POLL:
Somewhat familiar w/ RasMol? THEN PE FAMILIAR
Know some RasMol commands?
ALL WORK IN PE -- BUT DON'T NEED THEM
Somewhat familiar w/ MDL Chime plugin?
Somewhat familiar w/ PE?
Somewhat familiar w/ SwissPDB-Viewer aka DeepView?
Somewhat familiar w/ WebLab now Accelrys Viewer?
Primary workstation unix (incl. SGI Irix, linux)?
