FirstGlance in Jmol
(firstglance.jmol.org)
and Jmol java applet |
|
Assumes that you are already familiar with principles of protein structure.
Exceptional ease of use. Limited set of "canned" views. Adopted by Nature Structural and Molecular Biology and other bioinformatics resources. | Built with the free, open source Jmol java applet. | |
Protein Explorer in Chime
(www.proteinexplorer.org).
and Chime plugin |
| Much more powerful than FirstGlance: fully customizable images with surfaces. Extensive help and reference materials useful to both students and researchers. Helps you understand and interpret. Won the 2003 MERLOT Classic Award in Biology for exemplary online learning resources: "The Protein Explorer has revolutionized the teaching of biology at a molecular level". Able to build MolSlides. Adopted by numerous bioinformatics resources. | Built with the free MDL Chime plugin (source code not open). |
