Molecular Viewer
Interactive display of three-dimensional coordinates from user supplied PDB file using JSMol.
Accessibility
The Molecular Viewer module is accessible from the Interact section of the main menu.
Basic Usage
The purpose of the module is to provide users a tool to render and measure the 3D structures of the input PDB file using JSMol.
Notes
- Module currently reads a pdb file only, thus some JSMol functions including Scenes, Vibration, Spectra, and Animation are not available.
Screen Shots and Description of Input Fields
This example shows the 3D image of HIV-1 gag protein along with the JSMol menu accessed by right clicking a mouse.
- input filename (pdb): PDB file with coordinates to visualize.
Files Used and Created in Example
hiv1_gag.pdb
