Experience with RasMol

In today's lecture, we are being taught on how to use RasMol, a software of which is used for molecular graphics visualization originally developed by Roger Sayle. This software reads in molecular coordinate files and interactively displays the molecule on the screen in a variety of representations and colour schemes. Click here to learn more about RasMol.

Our assignment is to download certain models of molecules from the PDB (Protein Database) website. Then, we are to edit those models and to paste it here in our blogspot.

These are the results that we manage to obtain:


Name of MoleculesEditing Details (Display, Colour)
Image of Molecules
CollagenaseBall & Stick, Temperature
SubtilisinStrands, Shapely
KexinSpacefill, Chain
Signal Peptidase
Backbone, Structure

That is all from today. Again, we deeply thank Madam Linda for teaching us on how to use this software. May this knowledge benefit us in our near future.
