![]() Below are two Seq3D listings from Protein Explorer (in a slightly different format than that proposed for FirstGlance) illustrating two of many possible uses of color. Thus, colors can be applied to the listing to indicate other desired characteristics. The above listing is shown largely in a single color to emphasize that insertions, numbering gaps, and physical gaps can be indicated without the use of color. For examples, see numbered items above on those topics. The Jmol- based program FirstGlance, is nice for viewing structures. The above listing lacks instances of sequence microheterogeneity and non-standard residues. A Java-based program, Jmol, that is platform independent (Microsoft, Apple. Other color schemes could also be applied (see below). How to load a molecule from any server into FirstGlance. The green color reflects the color assigned to chain L by Jmol. FirstGlance, leaving the tab/page containing the link (s) to FirstGlance available. In the example below, it includes residues numbered 1-27C (1-27 plus 27A, 27B, 27C).Ĭomments L NIVMTQTPLS LPVSLGDQAS ISCRSSQ SLV smart phones), a new version of FirstGlance in Jmol ( was implemented with JSmol ( 63 ). However, the listing may start at a number 1, so line 1 need not be numbered 1-30. To enable interactive visualization of 3D molecular structures on devices with no Java installed, or for which Java is not available (e.g. In the listing below, residues are divided into three groups of ten per line. Indeed, maintaining a correspondence between column and row and sequence number is not always feasible because of the anomalous sequence numberings used by some authors (see examples listed above). Thus, it is not important that the sequence number of a residue be apparent from inspection of the sequence listing table itself. This reporting slot will be immediately above the sequence listing. ![]() Here is the slot as it appears in Protein Explorer when residue 27, insertion code A, is touched in the sequence listing for the example below, 1QKZ chain L: Please, feel free to add here a link to any journal that uses Jmol for publishing molecular structures (e.g.Experience with Protein Explorer has shown that it is quite easy to find any sequence number by moving the mouse over the listing, and watching the number reports in the form slot. as supplementary materials for articles). The history of interactive 3D molecular visualization in scientific journals is summarized in articles in Proteopedia.Org, namely Kinemages, Mage and KiNG and Jmol. ![]() ACS Chemical Biology, from the American Chemical Society (USA), is providing interactive Jmol renderings of structures matching figures in articles (look for enhanced objects link).Biochemical Journal is including interactive Jmol renderings of structures matching figures in articles (look for 3D interactive structure link).Examples are linked to MoleculesInMotion.Com. Crystallography Journals Online, the web site for journals of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), is using Jmol to visualize published crystal structures: click on any 3d view button on a journal table of contents page, e.g.First article with this feature (27 June 2007) is "Structures and metal-ion-binding properties of the Ca 2+-binding helix-loop-helix EF-hand motifs" abstract and citation 3D model (access is restricted to subscribers). Molecular BioSystems, from the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK), provides 3D visualisation of macromolecules in articles, by using FirstGlance in Jmol to show the associated PDB file.Elsevier uses Jmol to display structures along the articles in several journals.Acta Crystallographica Section C (2007) Part 1. Nature offers 3D View links for every new molecular structure.Links to the 3D images can be found on the Electronic Supplementary Information (ESI) page of the online article. #FIRSTGLANCE JMOL FREE#Ĭonsistent with FirstGlance in Jmol being free and open source, structure viewing at this journal is free (the 3D View links are accessible to non-subscribers). ![]() Nature is a strong supporter of open-source software, as evidenced by their Connotea project. To see what your protein looks like, I suggest you go to FirstGlance in Jmol, paste in your PDB ID number in the empty box.
