CHIME-RASMOL Tutorial

Structure Lab Meeting:Aug 2000
Duilio Cascio

1) Chime is a program to show molecular structures (PDB files) in three dimensions. Chime runs inside Netscape or IExplorer as a plug-in.
2) Chime is derived from Rasmol so you have to learn few rasmol commands.
3) In our lab we can run Chime on any Windows or Mac computer and you can edit the scripts that reside on your HTML home directory (UNIX DEC-ALPHAS)
4) First download CHIME for Windows or or MAC . After installing the plug-ins restart the Browser (ie:Netscape)





The chime exhibits listed below were prepared by undergraduate students in the honors class CHEM & BIOCHEM 153BH as an honors project (Dr.J.Feigon). Each student was assigned a structure paper relevant to the course material. Their project was to prepare a chime exhibit illustrating and describing the macromolecule.

This Chime exhibit is maintained by Duilio Cascio.
