ProteinGlimpse is a free widget for visualizing macromolecules retrieved from the Protein Data Bank.
It is powered by Jmol, a free, open source molecule viewer for students, educators, and researchers in chemistry and biochemistry. It was inspired by the FirstGlance in Jmol project.
This widget has been developed by Jaime Fern?ndez Vera as a work of his master in bioinformatics project. It was impired by the FirstGlance in Jmol project (http://molvis.sdsc.edu/fgij/index.htm)
f you are not conversant with macromolecules but you would like to have a glimpse of them, here you have some examples:
- The insulin hormone: 1APH
- The DNA double helix (B form): 1BNA
- The Potassium channel: 1BL8 (a membrane protein)
- The Transfer RNA (Phe): 4TNA
- The HIV protease with inhibitor: 4PHV
- Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase in complex with Mycophenolic Acid: 1JR1
What's New:
Now you can visualize the title found in RCSB PDB to describe the macromolecule shown.
A new button will appear, any time you get back a file from the RCSB PDB, that will link you to the macromolecule web page found in RCSB PDB.
Fixed some bugs found in the visualization script.
Some minor changes introduced in the graphical interface (see acknowledgments).
Requirements:
Internet connection.
