Re: [Jmol-users] Jmol Tutorial Manual now online and accessible

 Absolutely fantastic, Jeff. It is really rewarding to see such extensive
effort involving Jmol to make it possible for students to better understand
biochemistry. Wow.

The only thing I might add is that one no longer needs Jmol.jar. You might
consider mentioning at the top that what you are suggesting can be done at
the RCSB site itself, by opening a console, and that any site with JSmol
such as https://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jsmol/simple.htm can load PDB
files simply by drag-dropping a PDB file into it.

[Jmol-users] Jmol Tutorial Manual now online and accessible

[Jeffrey Cohlberg]

My manual “Exploring Protein and Nucleic Acid Structure with Jmol” can be 
downloaded at 
www.csulb.edu/~cohlberg/Jmolmanual.html.
  It contains self-guided exercises that enable the user to learn how to 
download structures from the PDB and display them and manipulate them using the 
standalone version of Jmol.  The user gradually acquires the skills to use Jmol 
while proceeding to learn the basics of protein structure in a manner that 
parallels the way they will be learning the material in an introductory 
biochemistry course.

An earlier version was used in Macmillan’s Launchpad online supplement for the 
Lehninger and Stryer biochemistry texts and was accessible only by professors 
using the texts and students who had subscribed to Launchpad.  Since the manual 
is not used in the current online supplements, it can be made publicly 
accessible.

I welcome feedback and suggestions for corrections and improvements.
