This tutorial illustrates some basic properties of protein structure and useful commands in Jmol and Proteopedia. Clicking the green links changes the view in the structure box to illustrate the principle described by the text. To identify a particular atom, toggle off any rotation and hold the mouse button over the atom of interest. This indicates the amino acid residue, the position in the chain, which chain, what atom it is (CA means the alpha carbon), and the overall number of the atom. | ''This tutorial illustrates some basic properties of protein structure and useful commands in Jmol and Proteopedia. It assumes familiarity with concepts from college level Chemistry courses, including polarity, dihedral angles, and functional groups. For a simpler presentation, please go to [[Basics of Protein Structure]]. Clicking the green links changes the view in the structure box to illustrate the principle described by the text.
