Models
This
page contains multimedia files of chemical structures used
in Chem 341. These are provided in several formats. In
order to download any of the files to your hard drive,
right click (Windows) or ctrl-click (Mac) and select to
save it on your computer.
PDB (protein
data bank) files can be visualized and manipulated in many
ways. In Windows you can install a plugin called Chime
from MDL that will display the PDB files in your browser.
Note that the only Chime plugin for Mac is for OS 9 version
of Netscape 4.7. (Boo to MDL for dropping
Mac support)
You can find more information about the
CHIME
plugin here. You need to register to download the
free plugin.
There
are a number of different PDB viewer applications that
are freely available for both Mac and Windows. You can
find many of them on this WEB
PAGE list.
The
software I used to present the models in class is Chimera
developed by the University of California at San Francisco.
You can find more information about CHIMERA
Here. Versions are available for Windows, Mac OS X,
IRIX, and Linux.
QUICKTIME
Movies I
have put some animations together as quicktime movies.
These can be viewed in a browser or on your computer
using Apple's
free Quicktime software for Mac and PC's.
