Jmol Hints:

  1. To find the composition, use the right mouse button to open the menu. Then "Select→Protein→By Residue Name". The number of each amino acid is given in the list (amino acids in gray are not present).
  2. To measure a distance, try: menu → Measurement → Click for distance measurement. Then click on two atoms and the distance between them will appear on the screen.
  3. "Mouse over" an atom to identify it, the first number is the residue position from the amino terminus, e.g. [Gly]22 indicates a Gly residue at position 22.
  4. To identify helix and sheet by color, try: menu → Color → Atoms →By Scheme → Secondary Structure.
  5. To center on a specific atom, try: menu → set picking → Center, and then click on the atom that will be the new center. To restore labeling of atoms, try: menu → set picking → Identity.

CPK Color Scheme:
blue - nitrogen  |  red - oxygen  |  gray - carbon  |  yellow - sulfur  |  hydrogen - white
