Hi Mike So clearly we haven't understood each other; I was not aware of your current state of Jmol proficiency. I understood that you are using the application, so I was not talking about any code, but just using the application top menu, which is the easiest way to start using Jmol. You have several choices: > I was under the impression that there > was a "bank" of models to choose from. There is not, except the PDB database which, as Bob pointed out, can be accessed directly by Jmol -provided there is an internet connection, of course. For that, if you know the 4-character PDB ID, you can type in Jmol console (opened with "File > Script" in the top menu or with "Console" in the pop-up menu): load =yourPDBID (the "=" is singular in the sense that it diirects Jmol to the internet instead of to the hard disk) You can also download the pdb file from the internet (http://pdb.org) and then open from your hard disk as below. > Or is it that I have to download a molecule from the > internet and run it through jmol, That's the usual way. You get the molecule from any database or web page, download to your hard disk, then open it in Jmol using either: Jmol top menu, File > Open or Jmol console (see above), then type load PathnameForYourFile (this is more cumbersome than using the menu) or even drag and drop the file to the Jmol window. > Sorry for bothering you again, Not at all! Please, keep us posted of your progress |
