[Jmol-users] Ramachandran plot of selected residues?

2011-12-28 Thread Jeffrey Cohlberg
There was a feature in Rasmol that allowed one to display a Ramachandran plot of the selected residues. This was a great tool for teaching protein structure. For example, you could separately display Ramachandran plots for all glycines in a protein, all prolines, or all non-glycine and

[Jmol-users] initial view of molecule

2012-12-25 Thread Jeffrey Cohlberg
I just noticed something peculiar. With Jmol 13.0.10 the initial view of a molecule depends on the method used to open the file. -- If you open a file using the Open command in the File menu, the initial view is in Cartoon style. -- If you open a file using the Recent Files... command, the

Bob-- It's not hugely important to have Open and Recent Files... do the same thing, but I think it would be nice. I do prefer the Cartoon style (with ligands in ball-and-stick) as the initial view, especially for students. Jeff

[Jmol-users] multiple molecules in Jmol window

within the last 10 days. Strangely, whenever a student who had this problem reopened the same file in Jmol in a new Jmol session, only one molecule was seen in the image. Any idea what is going on? Jeff Cohlberg -- Dr. Jeffrey Cohlberg Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry California State

I downloaded the Jmol 14.2.12 to my Mac and launched it by double-clicking on the jmol.jar icon, as described in the online instructions and as I have done in the past. This procedure used to work for Windows as well. But now when my students download the Windows version, jmol.jar is not the name
