Every page in Proteopedia that is titled with a 4-character [[PDB code]] has a link to [[FirstGlance in Jmol]]. ''FirstGlance'' makes it easy to explore the molecular structure in more detail (and, like Proteopedia, it can use [[Java]] but also works without Java). ''FirstGlance'' reports the number of chains of protein, DNA, RNA, and lists all ligands and non-standard residues with their full names. You can click on any of these to find them. Sequences can be displayed and short sequences can be found. With one click each you can see secondary structure, amino and carboxyl termini, hydrophobic cores (two clicks, one to slice through the center with "Slab"), positive and negative charges, and much more. Tools locate disulfide bonds, salt bridges, cation-pi interactions, and non covalent bonds to any moiety you specify. Help and color keys appear automatically. | Every page in Proteopedia that is titled with a 4-character [[PDB code]] has a link to [[FirstGlance in Jmol]].

When students are given a worksheet or a list of suitable questions, FirstGlance provides an easy way to see answers. | When students are given a worksheet or a list of suitable questions, ''FirstGlance'' provides an easy way to see answers. | ||
==Capturing Molecular Scenes in Powerpoint== | |||
''Powerpoint'' (® Microsoft) or the free presentation software in [[http://openoffice.org OpenOffice]] make it easy to capture snapshots from Proteopedia or ''FirstGlance'', and to record answers to questions. The resulting file can be emailed to the teacher/professor for grading. | |||
